Kaolin Clay

Kaolin  is a white, soft, plastic clay mainly composed of fine-grained plate-like particles. It is chemically inert, non-abrasive and has low heat and electricity conductivity.

The largest applications for kaolin are the filling and coating of paper as well as the production of fine ceramics. Kaolin is also used in many other markets.

Kaolinite is a mineral belonging to the group of aluminosilicates. It is commonly referred to as "Egy Clay" because it was first discovered at Kao-Lin, in Egypt. The term kaolin is used to describe a group of relatively common clay minerals dominated by kaolinite and derived primarily from the alteration of alkali feldspar and micas.
