Overview

We have three current Kaolin products that have low contaminants, fine particle size with high brightness.

“As mined” kaolinised granite matrix containing a very high yield of kaolin at typically 70% featuring exceptional quality: low contaminants, high brightness, fine particle size, good viscosity and platy crystal shape (Figure 5). >180um fraction is 92% Quartz and can be refined to >99% SiO2 with simple screening or density separation.

Applications
  • Pharmaceutical
  • Coating
  • Cosmetic
  • Paint/ Inks
  • Agriculture
  • Rubber
  • Continuous filament glass fibre
  • High end ceramic and porcelain

High quality wet refined kaolin characterised by high alumina & low impurities, high brightness, fine particle sizing, good viscosity and platy crystal shape (Figure 6).  This is an extremely pure product at > 99% kaolinite with very low impurities, fully compliant to United States Pharmacopoeia (USP), British Pharmacopoeia Heavy Kaolin (BPHK), British Pharmacopoeia Light Kaolin (BPLK) and European Pharmacopoeia (EP).
