How sparkguys handle chinaclay

  • Procuring from Mines

    We select clay deposits based on whiteness, alumina content, plasticity, and industry requirements.
  • Drying

    The raw clay is sun-dried or mechanically dried to reduce moisture content before further processing.
  • Washing & Silica Removal

    The clay undergoes wet beneficiation to remove silica, sand, iron, and other impurities. This results in high-brightness washed kaolin ideal for premium applications.
  • Refining & Particle Size Classification

    Material is refined and classified to achieve desired particle sizes for different industries.
  • Calcination (Optional Grade)

    For industries that require higher performance, the clay is calcined at high temperatures to increase whiteness, opacity, and chemical stability.
  • Packaging & Industrial Supply

    We supply bulk bags, loose loading, or custom packaging to factories and industrial buyers.

Grades of Kaolin

Grade Type Processing Level Application
Raw China Clay Dried, unwashed Cement, low-grade fillers
Washed Kaolin Silica removed, refined Paints, rubber, paper
Hydrous Kaolin Water-retained type Coatings, adhesives
Calcined Kaolin High-temperature calcination Plastics, paper gloss, high whiteness applications

Technical Specifications of Kaolin

Parameter Typical Value Description / Importance
Appearance Off-white to Pure White Powder Indicates purity and whiteness level
Brightness (ISO) 82% – 92% Higher brightness is preferred for paper, paint & cosmetics
Whiteness 85% – 95% Important for coatings, ceramics, and high-end applications
Moisture Content < 1% Ensures stability and easy processing
pH (25°C) 4.5 – 6.5 Suitable for coatings, adhesives, and rubber
Particle Size (D50) 2 – 10 microns (customizable) Determines fineness and application suitability
