Paper production: Kaolin is used as a filler and coating in the production of paper, helping to improve printability and brightness.
Kaolin, also known as China clay, is a type of soft, white clay that is widely used in a variety ofindustrial and commercial applications. It is typically formed by the weathering of aluminiumsilicate minerals such as feldspar and is commonly found in deposits in many parts of the world.
Paper production: Kaolin is used as a filler and coating in the production of paper, helping to improve printability and brightness.
Ceramics: Kaolin is used in the production of ceramics such as Ales, porcelain, and fine China, asit enhances the plasticity and strength of the clay body.
Paint: Kaolin is used as a pigment extender in the production of paint, helping to reduce the numberof expensive pigments required while also improving the opacity and texture of the paint.
Cosmetics:Kaolin is a common ingredient in a wide range of cosmetic products, including facialmasks, powders, and soaps, due to its ability to absorb excess oils and impurities from the skin.
Pharmaceuticals:Kaolin is used as an excipient in the production of medicines, serving as a binding agent for tablets and as an adsorbent in liquid formulations.
Plastics and rubber:Kaolin is used as a filler in the production of plastics and rubber, improving thestrength and durability of the final product.
