Mineral (kaolin) used in paper making as both filler and coating pigment.
White clay, produced by the decomposition of granitic rock, used in making porcelain, Queen's ware, jasper, and other fine bodies. It corresponds to the Chinese kaolin and to Cherokee clay.
a fine usually white clay formed by the weathering of aluminous minerals (as feldspar); used in ceramics and as an absorbent and as a filler (e.g., in paper)
Powdery white mineral produced by the decomposition of feldspar in granite; this process is known as kaolinisation. Kaolin is another term for china clay.
A soft white, plastic clay composed of the mineral kaolinite. China clay is an important industrial mineral as a paper liner, ceramics, cosmetics etc.
A natural mineral, consisting essentially of hydrated silicate of alumina, used as a filler or as a component in a coating slip.
A filler or loading agent.
Kaolinite, a mineral hydrated aluminum silicate (Al 2SiO 2H O), a white, mildly reinforcing rubber compounding ingredient.
An aluminum silica compound used in gravure and screen printing inks. Also called kaolin.
(also called "kaolin clay" or "fine white clay") One of the purest clays, comprising a white powdery material arising from the decomposition of feldspar in granite. It is composed mainly of kaolin, the main constituent of which is kaolinite. The texture is very fine and it is naturally absorbent. It is used in cosmetics in face and body powders, liquid powders, and makeup. Recommended for all skin types, especially sensitive and dry. Known first in China and worked in Cornwall, UK, since 1746, china clay has long been used in the manufacture of fine porcelain. France and several places in the USA are other sources. It is also used as a filler in paint and paper-making, and in plastics and fertilizers. Used in Chandler's Soaps products.
Kaolin. A white clay made from pegmatite found in Cornwall.
Primary or secondary kaolin, refractory, not very plastic, white burning, rare in the world, found in the U.S.A. in a few South-Eastern states; used in the blending of all whiteware and porcelain bodies.
Fine clay paint pigment that is resistant to abrasion.
