Hydrous Kaolin Supplier & Distributor In India
Chemical Bull is a Hydrous Kaolin supplier, distributor, and exporter in India, supporting sourcing for paint manufacturers, paper mills, rubber processors, plastic compounders, ceramic producers, adhesive manufacturers, and bulk industrial buyers.
Hydrous Kaolin is a naturally occurring hydrated aluminium silicate used as a mineral filler, extender, and coating pigment. Buyers comparing manufacturer specifications can request grade details, particle-size information, bulk pricing, and technical documentation.
Overview of Hydrous Kaolin
Hydrous Kaolin is primarily composed of kaolinite and is commonly identified by CAS number 1332-58-7. It is generally supplied as a white or off-white powder and is insoluble in water.
The term “hydrous” refers to the retained hydrated mineral structure, rather than the presence of free moisture or supply as a slurry. Commercial grades may be water-washed, air-floated, delaminated, or otherwise processed for specific applications.
Buyers should review brightness, whiteness, particle-size distribution, moisture, pH, sieve residue, oil absorption, and dispersion properties. Iron content, mineral impurities, and crystalline silica content may also affect application suitability and handling requirements.
Applications of Hydrous Kaolin
Paints & Coatings
Hydrous Kaolin is used as an extender in selected architectural and industrial coatings. Particle size and shape influence pigment spacing, gloss, surface finish, and formulation rheology. Manufacturers should evaluate the grade in their complete coating system.
Paper & Paperboard
Suitable grades are used as paper coating pigments and fillers. They can support smoothness, brightness, gloss, and printability. Paper mills should confirm particle size, abrasion, slurry viscosity, and coating compatibility.
Rubber Compounding
Hydrous Kaolin is used as a filler in rubber compounds. Selected grades support reinforcement, stiffness, processing behavior, and surface appearance. Performance depends on particle characteristics, loading, and the rubber formulation.
Plastic Compounding
Plastic compounders use suitable kaolin grades as mineral fillers in selected polymer systems. Grade selection should account for dispersion, moisture, polymer compatibility, mechanical properties, and processing requirements.
Ceramic Manufacturing
Hydrous Kaolin is used as a raw material in ceramic bodies. Producers assess its contribution to forming behavior and fired properties, with attention to mineral composition, iron content, particle size, and firing conditions.
Adhesives & Sealants
Suitable grades are used as fillers in selected adhesives, caulks, and sealants. Formulators should evaluate viscosity, dispersion, application behavior, and compatibility with the binder system.
Hydrous Kaolin Price & Bulk Supply
Hydrous Kaolin pricing depends on the manufacturer, processing method, grade, brightness, particle size, quantity, packaging, freight, and delivery destination.
Chemical Bull supports requests for product specifications, batch-specific COA, TDS, MSDS or SDS, packaging information, and export documentation for the offered grade.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is Hydrous Kaolin?
It is kaolin that retains its hydrated mineral structure. It is primarily composed of kaolinite and is used as a filler, extender, and coating pigment.
-
What is the CAS number of Hydrous Kaolin?
Hydrous Kaolin is commonly identified by CAS number 1332-58-7. Confirm the product identity and mineral composition on the offered specification and SDS.
-
What is the difference between Hydrous Kaolin and Calcined Kaolin?
Hydrous Kaolin retains its hydrated mineral structure. Calcined Kaolin undergoes thermal processing that removes chemically bound water and changes its properties. They require separate application testing.
-
Is all Hydrous Kaolin water-washed?
No. Hydrous Kaolin may be water-washed, air-floated, or processed by other methods. Confirm the processing method, particle size, brightness, and impurity profile when comparing manufacturer grades.
