CHINA CLAY
China clay, also known as kaolin, is a soft, white clay primarily composed of the mineral kaolinite. It has been used for centuries, especially in the ceramics industry. Kaolin is valued for its whiteness, fine particle size, and chemical inertness, making it a versatile material across various industries.
