China Clay

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

China Clay Powder for Paints

China Clay serves as a fundamental raw material and extender for water-based decorative paints, solvent-based decorative paints, protective and OEM coatings, domestic appliance finishes, electrophoresis coatings, coil coatings, traffic markings, and printing inks. It is used in various paint types such as distempers, cement primer, wood primer, texture paint, spray plaster, putties, fillers, and undercoats. Due to its lamellar structure, China Clay imparts toughness to coatings, reinforcing the films. It settles slowly in water and has low solubility, making it commonly used in water-based paints. Its low solubility and ability to impart good brushing and leveling characteristics make it primarily used in latex paints.

China Clay Powder for Adhesives Sealants

In adhesives and sealants, China Clay provides good barrier effects and controls rheology. Controlling rheology influences the speed of adhesive application, crucial in high-speed paper laminating processes. The low surface hydroxyl content of calcined China Clay leads to minimal moisture pick-up, resulting in excellent performance in moisture-sensitive sealant applications. Calcined clay is also effective as structure-building components..

China Clay Powder for Plastic

China Clay is used as a filler, often in combination with others, to impart strength and smoothness in the plastic industry. Applications include PE master batch, PE cables, PE film, PVC cables, PVC extrusions, PVC plastisols, PP moldings, polyamide moldings, PBT/PET moldings, unsaturated polyester, urea formaldehyde, and phenol formaldehyde.

China Clay Powder for Rubber

China Clay is incorporated into both natural and synthetic rubber compounds. As the rubber industry's most widely used non-black filler with reinforcing properties, it is applied in cable insulations, cable sheath, hose, extrusions, belting, footwear, pharmaceuticals, seals, general and domestic mouldings, latex, tyres, and inner tubes. Grit-free China Clay with low bulk density and reinforcing properties is used as a filler to improve tensile, flexural modules, and increase significance.
