Hydrous clay

Listing ID #3436354

China Clay, also known as Kaolin or Glossy Clay, falls under the Kaolinite group of clays. Kaolin is fine white clay mainly composed of Kaolinite and other related minerals such as halloysite. Kaolin is a hydrated alumino-silicate having a sheet structure.The general formula of Kaolin is Al2(Si2O5)(OH)4. The ultimate breakdown product of most rock-forming minerals is kaolinite. It is formed through the alteration or kaolinization of feldspar-rich parent rocks by weathering or hydrothermal processes. Free Silica (grit) is the most undesirable impurity and is removed during processing by levigation, sedimentation or air-separation techniques. Using advanced techniques, Kaolin is developed as Super glossy range of quality clay. Brightness combined with ultra fine particle size of Kaolin helps to achieve excellent shade along with exceptional print, gloss and hiding.
Glossy Clay T, a fine Hydrous Kaolin from 20 Microns Limited, is a product with ultra fine particle size & high brightness to offer ease of dispersion and improve gloss in both aqueous and solvent base paints and printing ink. Glossing Clay T contributes to improve opacity as a TiO2 extender. In Industrial Paints, it provides anti-settling and high-gloss at higher solid.
