Kaolin clay is also called "kaolin", commonly known as "porcelain clay". Composed of kaolinite containing more than 90%. Kaolinite is an important nonmetallic mineral, which is known as one of the four major nonmetallic minerals, together with mica, quartz and calcium carbonate. Kaolinite, a fine grained clay of pure texture, mainly composed of kaolinite or polyhalloysite, was first discovered in gaoling village near jingdezhen, China. Is mainly composed of less than 2 microns tiny sheet, fold, tubular flake minerals such as kaolinite cluster (kaolinite, dickite and nacrite, halloysite, etc.), the chemical formula which best characterizes the ideal for AL2O3-2 sio2-2 h2o, its main mineral compositions are kaolinite and much water kaolinite, in addition to the kaolinite mineral clusters, and the montmorillonite, illite and pyrophyllite, quartz and feldspar and other minerals associated. The chemical composition of kaolin contains a large amount of AL2O3, SiO2, a small amount of Fe2O3 and TiO2, as well as K2O, Na2O, CaO and MgO in the micro kaolinite structure diagram.

Kaolin occurs as a white to grayish-white colored, unctuous powder free from gritty particles. It has a characteristic earthy or claylike taste, and when moistened with water it becomes darker in color and develops a claylike odor.

Clacined kaolin is derived from the washed kaolin after high temperature sintering at 1700oC, while
meta-kaolin is obtained from washed kaolin as well after sintering at relatively low temperature between 600oC to 800oC. Kaolin has become a necessary mineral raw material for dozens of industries such as paper making, ceramics, rubber, chemicals, coatings,
national defense; etc.

-In a study to assess its utility for microparticle-enhanced cultivation (MPEC).

-kaolin (China clay) is a mixture of various aluminum silicates. It is often used in powders and masks given its absorbent, abrasive, bulking, and opacifying properties. This white, soft powder has good coverage and absorption abilities for both water and oil, making it an appropriate absorber of the oil and sweat secreted by the skin. It adheres well to the skin’s surface, yet is easily removed with normal cleansing procedures. Kaolin is considered a non-comedogenic raw material.

-Adsorbant.
