Hydrous Kaolin – High Purity Performance Clay for Coatings, Paper, Rubber, Adhesives & Fiberglass
Hydrous Kaolin – Precision-Engineered Mineral Performance
Not all hydrous kaolin clay is created equal. Our high-purity hydrous kaolin is engineered from the crystal structure upward to deliver consistent performance, refined purity, and formulation reliability for manufacturers who demand more than standard mineral fillers.
Through advanced water washing, precision particle classification, and strict quality control, we produce hydrous kaolin that functions as a true performance ingredient – not a commodity extender.
This makes our hydrous kaolin ideal for paints and coatings, adhesives, rubber compounds, inks, paper coatings, and fiberglass production.

Versatility Across Industries
| Industry | Application | Key Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Paints & Coatings | Interior/Exterior Pigment | Improves hold-out, provides better flow, and increases film durability. |
| Adhesives & Sealants | Rheology Modifier | Controls viscosity and prevents sagging on vertical surfaces. |
| Rubber | Semi-Reinforcing Filler | Enhances tear strength and stiffness in non-black rubber products. |
| Inks | Specialty Pigment | Regulates ink tack and improves print definition on various substrates. |
| Paper | Paper Coating, Filler | Provides smoothness, gloss, high brightness, excellent printability, increases opacity, and reduces fiber cost. |
| Fiberglass | Glass Fiber Batch Provides | Consistent source of alumina and silica; improves chemical resistance and mechanical strength of fibers. |
Pro Tip: In Fiberglass production, the low iron and alkali content of our Hydrous Kaolin is critical. It allows for a more stable melt in the furnace and prevents fiber breakage, which is essential for maintaining high-speed production of continuous filament glass.
Applications
Why Choose Our Hydrous Kaolin?
- Superior Aspect Ratio: Our specialized water-washing process preserves the large, flat flakes of the clay, ensuring maximum reinforcement and barrier properties in your formulas.
- Low Grit Content: We utilize advanced grit-reduction technology to ensure a smooth, non-abrasive finish, extending the life of your processing equipment.
- Exceptional Dispersibility: Our hydrous grades are engineered for rapid wetting, reducing mixing time and energy costs in water-based systems.
- Strict Consistency: Every batch is tested for particle size distribution (PSD) and brightness to ensure your production line never has to adjust for raw material fluctuations.
- Customer needs: We can customize the grade and properties to meet specific demands. Whatever your needs, we can provide the right kaolin product as per customer requirements.
