Product details

Key Properties and Characteristics:

Composition: Primarily kaolinite (Al2Si2O5(OH)4), a hydrated aluminum silicate. 

Formation: Results from the chemical weathering of aluminum-silicate minerals like felspars. 

Appearance: White or light-colored, with a fine, powdery texture. 

Physical Properties: Brittle, often with a slippery feel, and it becomes plastic when wet. It also emits a distinct clayey odor when breathed upon. 

Chemical Properties: Chemically inert and resistant to heat. 


Production and Processing:

Mining:

China clay is often mined in situ, meaning it's soft and easily extracted without blasting. 

Processing:

Crushing, grinding, and refinement processes may be used to achieve specific particle sizes and purity levels.
