Global Water-washed Kaolin Competitive Landscape Professional Research Report 2025

Global Water-washed Kaolin Competitive Landscape Professional Research Report 2025

Research Summary

Water-washed kaolin is a type of kaolin clay that has undergone a refining process involving washing with water to remove impurities and other undesirable materials. Kaolin, also known as china clay, is a naturally occurring mineral composed primarily of kaolinite, a hydrated aluminum silicate. Water-washing kaolin involves mixing the raw kaolin ore with water and then separating the clay particles from other minerals, sand, organic matter, and soluble salts through sedimentation, filtration, and centrifugation processes. This purification method helps to improve the purity and brightness of the kaolin clay, making it suitable for various industrial applications, including ceramics, paper coating, paint, rubber, plastics, and cosmetics. Water-washed kaolin is valued for its fine particle size, high whiteness, low abrasiveness, and excellent rheological properties, which make it a versatile and high-performance ingredient in many products.
