Full Description
Kaolin (china clay) is a fine white clay mineral powder composed primarily of kaolinite, serving as a filling and extending agent in industrial formulations. This alumino-silicate filler provides bulk and cost-effective volume extension in coatings and construction applications, as well as plastics and polymer systems. The mineral’s plate-like particle structure and chemical inertness make it suitable for reinforcing and modifying the properties of these material systems.
