The physical properties of Kaolin include high brightness, non-abrasiveness, poor conductivity of heat and electricity and it has naturally fine particles. Kaolin remains white after calcination due to its refractory properties and can be easily dispersed in water. There are several variations within Kaolin such as Hydrous Kaolin, Metakaolin and Calcined Kaolin.
We offer a vast range of Kaolin-based minerals to several businesses from paper manufacturing to porcelain tableware, paints, cosmetics, packaging, rubber and pharmaceuticals to name a few. We customize our minerals according to the needs of the industry of our clients.
Hydrous Kaolin has fine particles with plate-like shapes and inertness in terms of chemical reactivity, whereas, Metakaolin is created by the process of calcination of Kaolin. It is a white mineral additive which is most popularly used in cement-based products. In contrast to this, Calcined Kaolin is manufactured by heating the finest natural kaolin to high temperatures in a kiln. This calcination process changes the size and shape of the particles, enhances the whiteness and hardness of the mineral and improves its electrical conductivity.
Kaolinite is a clay mineral, with the chemical composition
Al₂Si₂O₅(OH)₄
Various Industrial Usages:

Kaolin is a very important mineral in the ceramics industry. It’s high fusion temperature and white firing characteristic makes it perfect to be used in the manufacture of sanitaryware, tableware, floors & tiles and refractories.

In the construction industry, kaolin is used to enhance the mechanical properties, porosity and look of several types of cement and concrete. It is also an impeccable source of alumina source in the manufacturing of fiberglass.

Kaolin is used in paper manufacturing and fiber-based packaging also. Our Kaolin mineral enhances surface functionality when it is used as fillers or coating pigments and thus further helping in reducing the manufacturing cost of the paper or the packaging.

Moreover, it is extensively used in decorative paints formulations as it is a natural opacifier and it is the perfect mineral when high gloss is required.

Our specialized Kaolin also can be used as multi-purpose fillers to improve the performance of adhesives, plastics and rubber.

We are extremely confident in our offering of Kaolin mineral as we understand how Kaolin can optimize the performance, reduce the costs and can achieve minimum carbon footprint in our client’s end products.
