CHINA CLAY

China Clay is also known as hydrated Aluminium Silicate. China clay, one of the purest of the clays, composed chiefly of the mineral kaolinite usually formed when granite is changed by hydrothermal metamorphism. It is one of the most abundant clay available in the earth crust. It is light weight and super white in color. It has high degree of brightness, low plasticity, ease of dispersion and good oil absorbtion.

Chemically China Clay is known as  Aluminium Silicate (Al₂O₃.2SiO₂.2H₂O)

Properties / Advantages

		High Purity	-	Stable, reproductive properties of end products.
		Good Brightness	-	Super white tone, good hiding effect, consistent color of end product.
		Low Moisture Absorption	-	Good molded surface, well suited for paints.
		Low Bulk Density	-	Improves electrical and mechanical properties of composite.
		Low Iron Content	-	Low yellowness index.
		Constant Viscosity	-	Maintains constant viscosity in storage.

Application Scope

		Used in emulsion based paints as partial substitute for TiO2, in extenders and for solvent based primers, etc.
		Used as a coating pigment in varieties of papers, cardboards, hard boards and others.
		Used as a filler in foam products, surgical gloves, Linoleum & flooring.
