  3. Calcined kaolin • 20 Microns is a trailblazer in calcination, providing globally used fine particle Calcined Kaolin in ceramics, coatings, plastics, paper, construction, adhesives, rubber, and wire & cable applications. Their extremely fine grades enhance opacifying properties, gloss, hiding, and brightness, reducing titanium consumption and replacing synthetic aluminum silicate. Innovations include Hydrophobic and Flash Calcined Kaolins, offering sustainable solutions for diverse industries like ceramics, paints, coatings, textiles, cosmetics, paper, packaging, pharmaceuticals, plastics, and rubber.

  4. Uses of calcined kaolin • Calcined kaolin, a derivative of the naturally occurring mineral kaolinite, has found its way into a myriad of industries due to its unique properties and versatile applications. This refined form of kaolin undergoes a high-temperature process, resulting in improved physical and chemical properties. The calcination process transforms raw kaolin into a versatile material that is employed in various sectors, ranging from the paper and ceramics industry to construction and agriculture.

  5. Paper industry • Calcined kaolin plays a crucial role in the paper industry, where it is used as a coating material to enhance paper quality. The fine particle size and high brightness of calcined kaolin contribute to improved printability, opacity, and smoothness of paper surfaces. This makes it an essential ingredient in coated paper products, including glossy magazines, catalogs, and high-quality printing paper.

  6. Ceramic industry In the ceramics industry, calcined kaolin is valued for its unique combination of properties, such as high plasticity, excellent whiteness, and low impurity content. It is commonly used as a raw material in the production of porcelain, sanitaryware, and ceramic tiles. The addition of calcined kaolin enhances the firing characteristics, reduces shrinkage, and improves the overall quality of the final ceramic products.

  7. Paint and coating The paint and coatings industry also benefits significantly from calcined kaolin. Its use as a pigment extender and functional filler contributes to improved durability, color retention, and resistance to weathering. In water-based paints, calcined kaolin acts as a rheology modifier, preventing settling and improving the overall stability of the formulation.

  8. Rubber and plastic Calcined kaolin finds application in the rubber and plastics industries due to its reinforcing properties. When incorporated into rubber compounds, it enhances tensile strength, tear resistance, and abrasion resistance. In plastics, calcined kaolin is used as a cost-effective filler to improve mechanical properties and reduce shrinkage during the molding process.

  9. Construction material The construction industry utilizes calcined kaolin in the production of cement and concrete. Its pozzolanic properties contribute to increased strength and durability of concrete structures. Additionally, calcined kaolin is employed as a functional filler in the production of lightweight aggregates and construction materials, providing both economic and performance benefits

  10. agriculture Calcined kaolin has found applications in agriculture, particularly in the formulation of agrochemicals. It serves as an inert carrier for pesticides and herbicides, improving their dispersion and adherence to plant surfaces. The use of calcined kaolin in agriculture helps optimize the effectiveness of agrochemical applications while minimizing environmental impact.
