Home : Kaolin , U-Clay
Kaolin (or china clay) is a soft, white, earthy industrial mineral composed primarily of the mineral kaolinite is a clay mineral, with the chemical composition Al2Si2O5(OH)4. It is a layered silicate mineral, with one "tetrahedral" sheet of silicate tetrahedra (SiO4) linked to one "octahedral" sheet of aluminate octahedrons (AlO2(OH)4) through oxygen atoms on one side, and another such sheet through hydrogen bonds on the other side. It is extensively used in paper coating/filling, ceramics, TableWare, SanitaryWare, Refractory, paints, rubber, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals due to its fine particle size, white color.
