Intro
Kaolin
Kaolin is a naturally occurring, high-purity clay mineral composed primarily of kaolinite. Formed through the chemical weathering of feldspars, it is characterized by its fine particle size, white color, chemical inertness, and exceptional purity — making it one of the most versatile and widely used industrial raw materials in the world.
