| 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 |
| 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 |
| Oil Absorption | 35 – 45 g / 100 g | Affects viscosity and paint formulation |
| Bulk Density | 0.4 – 0.6 g/cc | Useful for packaging and handling |
| Specific Gravity | 2.6 – 2.7 | Standard for kaolinitic minerals |
| Loss on Ignition (LOI) | 12% – 14% | Indicates organic removal and clay purity |
| Al2O3 (Alumina) | 34% – 38% | Higher alumina = higher purity kaolin |
| SiO2 (Silica) | 44% – 48% | Silica content reduces after washing process |
| Fe2O3 (Iron Oxide) | < 0.6% | Low iron ensures high whiteness & suitability for ceramics |
| TiO2 | < 2% | Affects brightness and opacity |
| Calcium Oxide (CaO) | < 0.2% | Low CaO improves consistency in high-temperature applications |
| Magnesium Oxide (MgO) | < 0.2% | Ensures purity for pharma & cosmetic grades |
| Mesh Size | 200, 240, 300, 325 Mesh | Available in different fineness as per industry use |
| Calcined Grade | Available | Higher whiteness, opacity & chemical stability |
