Overview of Kaolin

Kaolin is a naturally occurring aluminium silicate mineral widely used in ceramics, paper, paints, rubber, plastics, and various industrial applications. Chemically, the formula of kaolin is Al₂Si₂O₅(OH)₄, and it is commonly referred to as china clay in industrial usage. Kaolin is valued for its fine particle size, chemical inertness, and excellent brightness.

From a material perspective, Kaolin appears as a white to off-white fine powder with a soft texture and low abrasiveness. The kaolin molecular weight is approximately 258.16 g/mol, and it is identified by the kaolin CAS number 1332-58-7. Due to its layered silicate structure, Kaolin exhibits good dispersion, thermal stability, and reinforcing properties in industrial formulations.
