Kaolinite, also known as kaolin or china clay, is a fine-grained, white or grayish-white natural clay material. It is primarily composed of hydrated aluminum silicate (Al2O3·2SiO2·2H2O) and other kaolin-group minerals. This mineral is renowned for its chemical stability and rich content of silicon, zinc, magnesium, and aluminum.
Kaolinite has been widely used in the manufacture of porcelain and fine china due to its plasticity, strong bonding ability, and high temperature resistance. Besides ceramics, it also finds applications in various industries such as paper coating, refractories, fiberglass insulation, rubber, paint, and chemicals. It can be processed into binders, suspending agents, adsorbents, decolorants, plasticizers, catalysts, and fillers.
