Research Summary
Kaolin, also known as china clay, is a naturally occurring soft clay mineral composed primarily of kaolinite, as well as other minerals such as halloysite. It is mined from deposits located in various parts of the world and is characterized by its fine particle size, white color, and plasticity. Kaolin has a wide range of industrial applications, particularly in the production of ceramics, paper, paint, rubber, and various cosmetic and pharmaceutical products. In the ceramics industry, kaolin is a key ingredient in the formulation of porcelain and other ceramic materials, contributing to their strength and whiteness. In the paper industry, kaolin is used as a coating material to improve the smoothness and printing properties of paper. Its inert nature and versatility make kaolin a valuable resource in various sectors, contributing to the development of a range of products across different industries.
The major global manufacturers of Kaolin include Imerys S.A., KaMin LLC and CADAM SA, BASF, Thiele Kaolin Company, Sibelco, Quarzwerke Gruppe, I-Minerals, Burgess, China kaolin, China Mineral Processing, Long Yan Kaolin clay, Bright Industrial, LB Minerals, etc. The global players competition landscape in this report is divided into three tiers.
