Kaolin or “China Clay” 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, such as:

• Cosmetics
• Plastics
• Paints
• Fertilisers
• Refractories
• Rubber
