China Clay, also known by the name Kaolin is soft and white clay that is considered to be an essential ingredient for making porcelain. Moreover, it finds implementation in various industries such as paint, paper and rubber to name a few. To fulfil diverse market needs, we offer an extensive array of ChinA clay, which when combined with water takes the form of plastic. The shape of this plastic remains the same even after the removal of pressure. When the percentage of water is higher, the offered clay forms a watery suspension that is extensively used within the ceramic industry.

China Clay forms the basic raw material as an extender for Water-based decorative paints. Solvent-based decorative paints. Protective and OEM coatings; domestic appliance finishes; electrophoresis coatings; coil coatings; traffic markings; printing inks. It is used in various paints like distempers, cement primer, wood primer, texture paint, spray plaster, putties, fillers undercoats.
In adhesive sealants, china clay gives good barrier effects and rheology control. The controlling rheology influences the speed at which adhesive can be applied which is important in high-speed paper laminating processes. The low surface hydroxyl content of calcined China clay leads to a low moisture pick-up, resulting in excellent performance in moisture-sensitive sealant applications. Calcined clay is also effective as a structure-building component.
It is used as a filler in combination with others to impart strength smoothness in plastic Industry for PE master batch; PE cables; PE film; PVC cables; PVC extrusions; PVC plastisols; PP moldings; polyamide moldings; PBT/PET moldings; unsaturated polyester; urea formaldehyde; phenol formaldehyde.
The China Clay can be effectively used in manufacturing of fiber glass because of its high alumina content.
It is used in a variety of papers, cardboard, hard boards and others. China Clay is used as filler which reduces its overall cost and improves its printing properties such as brightness, smoothness and gloss.
China Clay is incorporated into both natural and synthetic rubber compounds and is the rubber industry’s most widely used non-black filler with reinforcing properties: Cable insulations: cable sheath; hose; extrusions; belting; footwear; pharmaceutical; seals; general mouldings; plant lining; domestic mouldings; latex; tyres/inner tubes. Grit-free china clay having low bulk density, and possessing reinforcing properties, is used as filler and to improve tensile, flexural modules make a significant increase.
China Clay is used in toothpaste, cosmetics and soap industry.
