China Clay
China Clay also known as Kaolin, is a naturally occurring white mineral composed of hydrous aluminum silicate. At Sai Baba Minerals, we specialize in supplying premium-grade China Clay for diverse industrial applications including ceramics, paper, paints, plastics, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals.
🔍 What Is China Clay?
China Clay is formed through the weathering of feldspar-rich rocks like granite. Its fine particle size, high whiteness, and chemical inertness make it a preferred raw material across multiple industries.
Chemical Formula: Al₂Si₂O₅(OH)₄
Whiteness: 93–97%
Particle Size: <2 microns
Refractoriness: Up to 1800°C
Plasticity: High
pH: Neutral to slightly acidic
