China Clay (Kaolin) A Key Ingredient in
Industrial Innovation

Introduction
Kaolin, commonly known as China Clay, is a
naturally occurring soft white clay, primarily
composed of the mineral kaolinite. It is formed
by the chemical weathering of aluminum silicate
minerals such as feldspar. Known for its fine
particle size and high brightness, Kaolin plays a
crucial role in several industries.
