High-Purity Calcined Kaolin Clay: Multi-Functional Mineral Filler for Coatings, Rubber and Plastics

Time : 2026-10-21

Manufacturer Shijiazhuang Huabang Mineral Products Co., Ltd releases stable-grade calcined kaolin clay on Oct 21, 2026, a high-brightness aluminosilicate mineral filler designed for global paint, rubber, plastic and wire-cable manufacturers. This thermally-treated kaolin delivers up to 15% reduction in titanium-dioxide consumption while improving scratch resistance and dimensional stability of finished goods, solving common pain-points of poor dispersion, inconsistent whiteness and high formulation cost for industrial compounders. Sourced from high-quality ore deposits, the product supports bulk export with complete COA documentation and REACH-compliant testing reports.

Key Features & Real-World Application Benefits

High Brightness & Controlled Particle Size for Coatings

Calcined kaolin features ISO brightness 90-92% and well-distributed plate-shaped particles. In water-borne and solvent-based paints, it acts as TiO₂ extender, enhancing hiding power and scrub resistance of paint films, and stabilizes matte finish for interior architectural coatings. Formulators can lower raw-material cost without sacrificing surface quality.

Reinforcing Performance for Rubber & Polymer Compounds

As a reinforcing mineral filler, calcined kaolin improves tensile strength, abrasion resistance and reduces compression-set for rubber parts, hoses and sealing profiles. For PVC, PE and wire-cable insulation materials, it brings high volume resistivity and low water absorption, optimizing electrical insulation performance of cable compounds.

Excellent Chemical Inertness for Multi-Industry Compatibility

With stable chemical property and low heavy-metal impurity, calcined kaolin is also widely adopted in papermaking coating, adhesives & sealants and ceramic manufacturing, resisting acid-alkali environment in complex formulation systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What is the difference between washed kaolin and calcined kaolin? A: Washed hydrous kaolin retains natural crystal water, mainly for paper filling and general ceramics. Calcined kaolin is processed under high-temperature calcination; crystal water is removed to achieve higher whiteness, oil-absorption and reinforcing capacity, more suitable for high-end coatings, rubber and cable industries.

Q2: Can calcined kaolin partially replace titanium dioxide in paint formulations? A: Yes. Proper addition ratio 10-30% of TiO₂ weight can maintain hiding power and effectively cut pigment cost, especially for matte paint systems. Formulation adjustment of dispersant dosage is recommended.

Q3: What package and shipping terms do you offer? A: Standard package: 25kg multi-layer kraft bag. Support FOB / CIF trade terms; COA, MSDS documents are supplied for each batch for customs clearance.

Q4: Do you provide custom particle-size grades for special applications? A: Custom D50 particle size, surface-modified kaolin for polymer are available upon customer request. Sample service is supported for lab formulation test.
