Product Description
Kaolin 0-100 micron
Kaolin, with a particle size range of 0 to 100 microns, is a fine white clay mineral known for its versatility and wide range of industrial applications. It is often used in industries such as ceramics, papermaking, cosmetics, and more. Here’s a description of Kaolin with a particle size range of 0 to 100 microns:
- Composition: Kaolin, also known as China clay, is composed primarily of the mineral kaolinite, which is a hydrated aluminum silicate [Al2Si2O5(OH)4]. It may also contain other minerals and impurities, but high-quality kaolin is known for its purity and high kaolinite content.
- Particle Size: Kaolin in the 0-100 micron size range consists of fine particles, with most particles measuring less than 100 micrometers in diameter. This fine particle size makes it suitable for various applications.
- Color and Texture: High-quality kaolin is typically white or very light in color, although it can range from pale pink to greenish shades depending on the presence of impurities. It has a soft, smooth, and powdery texture.
- Chemical Properties: Kaolin is chemically stable and generally inert, making it suitable for use in a wide range of applications. It is not significantly affected by most chemicals and environmental factors.
- Industrial Uses:
- Ceramics: Kaolin is a key ingredient in ceramics and porcelain production. It is used as a clay body material, providing plasticity, fine particle size, and whiteness to ceramics products. It also helps control shrinkage and improve firing properties.
- Papermaking: In the paper industry, kaolin is used as a filler and coating pigment to improve paper’s smoothness, brightness, and printability. It enhances paper’s opacity and reduces ink penetration.
- Paint and Coatings: Kaolin is used as a white pigment and extender in paints, coatings, and primers. It contributes to opacity, sheen control, and improved coverage.
- Plastics and Rubber: In plastics and rubber production, kaolin is used as a reinforcing filler to enhance strength, stiffness, and dimensional stability.
- Cosmetics: Kaolin is commonly used in cosmetics and skincare products, including face masks and powders, due to its gentle, absorbent, and soothing properties.
- Pharmaceuticals: In pharmaceuticals, kaolin can be used as an excipient in tablet formulations and as an ingredient in oral suspension preparations.
- Agriculture: Kaolin is sometimes used in agriculture as a protective spray on crops to act as a physical barrier against pests and diseases. It can also help improve plant stress tolerance.
- Geological and Geotechnical Applications: Kaolin has geological and geotechnical applications, including in the oil and gas industry for drilling muds and in geotechnical engineering for stabilizing soils.
- Environmental Remediation: Kaolin can be used in environmental applications, such as in wastewater treatment to remove impurities and in soil remediation to immobilize contaminants.
Kaolin with a particle size range of 0 to 100 microns is prized for its fine particle size and versatility, making it valuable in a wide range of industrial, commercial, and scientific applications. Its properties as a white clay mineral make it a sought-after material in many industries, especially those where fine particle size and purity are critical.
