Glossy Clay T

Kaolin or Glossy Clay, Al₂(Si₂O₅)(OH)₄. Brightness combined with ultra fine particle size of kaolin helps to achieve excellent shade along with exceptional print, gloss and hiding. It is fine white clay mainly composed of kaolinite and other related minerals such as halloysite. It is a hydrated alumino-silicate having a sheet structure. The ultimate breakdown product of most rock-forming minerals is kaolinite. It is formed through the alteration or kaolinization of feldspar-rich parent rocks by weathering or hydrothermal processes. Free silica (grit) is the most undesirable impurity and is removed during processing by levigation, sedimentation or air-separation techniques. Using advanced techniques, Kaolin is developed as Super glossy range of quality clay. A fine hydrous kaolin, is a product with ultra fine particle size & high brightness to offer ease of dispersion and improve gloss in both aqueous and solvent base paints and printing ink. It contributes to improve opacity as a TiO₂ extender. In industrial paints, it provides anti-settling and high-gloss at higher solid.
