What is Kaolin?
Kaolinite – commonly known as kaolin clay and China clay – is a naturally occurring mineral with the chemical make-up of:
Al2Si205(OH)4
Physical Constants
Specific Gravity.............. 2.60
Refractive Index............. 1.56
It is one of the most common minerals on earth but deposits of commercial size and purity are relatively rare.
Kaolin produced in middle Georgia is sold worldwide due to its finely tuned specifications for use in paper and specialized industrial applications.
Of course, North America represents the largest market for KaMin LLC (because of shipping and freight) but many of the company’s products are shipped to Europe, Latin America, Africa and Asia.
