APLICATIONS

Kaolin is a special ore, applicable in the most varied segments, from agriculture to the cosmetics industry. Due to its colors, granulometry, particle shape, refractive index as well as oil absorption, kaolin is considered as an exceptional mineral. Another advantage is the intrinsic and extrinsic chemical properties on the geological composition of the earth where it can be found. Check out some uses below.

ADHESIVES AND SEALANTS

Applied to adhesives and sealants due to their physical and morphological characteristics. It influences the absorption of resins or oil, ensuring the consistency of the adhesive or sealant, stability, porosity, flexibility, stiffness, density, rheology, dry and wet strength.

RUBBER

The use of kaolin improves the performance of rubbers. Applied as a mineral load with a low friction coefficient, it reduces costs and also gives a series of advantages to the final product, such as: it prevents the formation of bubbles, increases the elongation of rupture, it helps in the calendaring process providing a more uniform lamination, besides helping pressing and vulcanization.

COSMETICS AND SOAPS

Because it is a chemically inert element, Kaolin is used in products for direct contact with the skin, such as: Masks, toothpastes, soaps, anti-inflammatory creams, ointments, makeup, among others.

PAPER

Kaolin is widely used in the paper industry which consumes about 45% of world production. Its employability ranges from filling material to additive or substitute for plastic clays, and more. It also helps the final product to have brightness, uniformity, smoothness and print quality. Apart from that, kaolin also helps the environment as it avoids the extraction of trees.

PLASTIC

Kaolin provides a wide range of benefits in the application of thermoset and thermoplastic polymers. Therefore, it is used to improve visual appeal, resistance, flexibility, electrical properties, durability and cost.

PORCELAIN / SANITARY WARE

In the production of porcelain and sanitary ware, kaolin is increasingly consumed due to its damp plasticity and its property as flux or vitrifying. Considering that kaolin has a fine grain size of its mineral constituents and lamellar forms, this singular ore contributes to the homogeneity of the floor and also gain different colors after the firing.

ANIMAL NUTRITION

Kaolin is used as a vehicle to add volume and to facilitate homogenization. It also aggregates the nutrients of its mineralogical composition and does not cause changes in the product. Kaolin is an inert material, so it is neither toxic nor perishable. It promotes weight gain, increases feeding efficiency and helps to strengthen the animals' immune system.
