Kaolin is actually the best compound cost optimizer

What is Kaolin?

Kaolin, a mineral additive, AKA China clay, is nearly white in color and is considered as one of the most used mineral additive or filler or pigment depending upon the usage.

Its fine particle size and pure coloring distinguish it from other industrial clays.

Its ability to disperse in water makes it an ideal pigment and a recommended mineral additive.

The primary constituent in kaolin is the mineral kaolinite, a hydrous aluminum silicate formed by the decomposition of minerals such as feldspar.

Kaolinite has a low shrink-swell capacity and a low cation-exchange capacity (1–15 meq/100 g) and its chemical name is: Al2Si2O5(OH)4

Facts and Benefits of our Kaolin Series in Varied Industries:

Rubber Industries:

The potential of kaolin as a reinforcing filler in rubber industry

Two types of kaolin clays are being used in the rubber industries depending upon the end usage of the clay, namely:

Hard Clay
Soft Clay

Application area includes:

Hoses (Hydraulic, LPG, etc.)
Eva Sheets
Rubber Profiles
Footwear
Tubes

Benefits and Facts:

The combination of Carbon Black with hard clays increases mechanical properties like modulus and tensile strength while reducing compression and maintaining lower compound cost.
The cure rate can be reduced
Since kaolin is inert, it is naturally nonabrasive
The specific gravity of a filler affects the molded products’ final weight
The reinforcement of rubber depends on the particle size of the filler.
Better Production flow

Paints and inks:

Kaolin is used in this particular industry because of its:

Earthy nature
Fineness
Opacity
Easy dispersibility in water
Brightness
Whiteness
Gloss
Viscosity
Coverage Area
Scattering
Flowability
Suspension

Two types of clays are used in paints and inks industries:

Hydrous Kaolin:

Water and solvent-based paints in distempers.
Interior and exterior paints.
Primers and undercoat

2. Calcined Kaolin:

Satin and matt paints where they deliver increased opacity, whiteness, and scrub resistance.

Ceramics:

Kaolin is considered as an essential constituent in ceramics and is used by almost every manufacturer worldwide in:

Electrical Porcelain
Fine China and Dinnerware
Floor and Wall Tile
Roof Tile
Pottery
Sanitary ware
Tableware
Other Engineering Products

Important properties of kaolin in Ceramics:

Plastic properties
Drying properties
Firing properties
Firing color
Electrical properties such as conductivity, dielectric content, etc.

Benefits in Ceramics:

Easy deformation under stress.
Due to Low plasticity, does not require intense forming pressure to withstand handling/drying.
Better Green Strength
Excellent firing properties in order to produce a super white finish
GRIT free material
Low and even particle size to keep drying shrinkage in desired parameters.
Most porous
Very fine and smooth Platelets.
Good Vitrification.

Other Uses:

Plastics
Pharmaceuticals
Feeds
Agriculture
Papers
Pesticides and a lot more
