Kaolin Clay
Kaolin clay, also known as china clay, is a fine-grained, white clay that is primarily composed of the mineral kaolinite. It is one of the most important clays in the ceramics industry and is widely used in making porcelain, hiteware, tiles, and other ceramic products. Kaolin is also used in a variety of other industries, such as in paper production, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals, due to its purity and fine texture.
