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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
