Kaolin Powder, also known as China Clay, is a soft, white mineral composed mainly of kaolinite. It is highly valued in industrial applications for its excellent whiteness, fine particle size, and chemical inertness. As an opacifier, it enhances the brightness and opacity of materials like paints, ceramics, and paper. Kaolin also improves mechanical strength, surface smoothness, and printability in coated products.
