— Kaolinite, common group of clay minerals that are hydrated aluminum silicates; they contain the main components of kaolin (china clay). The group includes kaolinite, which is chemically similar but amorphous to kaolinite, and its rarer forms, stalagmite and nacrite, halloysite and allophane.

 — Kaolin clay is a soft, white clay that contains minerals, including kaolinite, which has cleansing and soothing effects on the skin. It can also be used on the teeth and hair and taken internally to manage diarrhea.

Kaolinite is a clay mineral, with a soft consistency and earthy texture. It is easily broken and can be molded or shaped, especially when wet. Kaolinite is a lackluster and uninteresting mineral on its own, but it occasionally forms interesting …

Kaolin, or 'china clay' as it is commonly called, is a hydrated aluminum silicate crystalline mineral formed over many millions of years by the hydrothermal decomposition of granite rocks. Hydrous kaolin is characterized by its fine particle size, plate-like or lamellar particle shape, and chemical inertness.

Clay mineral - Kaolin, Serpentine, Group: Minerals of this groups are 1:1 layer silicates. Their basic unit of structure consists of tetrahedral and octahedral sheets in which the anions at the exposed surface of the octahedral sheet are hydroxyls (see Figure 4).

kaolin, soft white clay that is an essential ingredient in the manufacture of china and porcelain and is widely used in the making of paper, rubber, paint, and many other products. Kaolin is named after the hill in China (Kao-ling) from which it was mined for centuries.

 — Kaolin may be used as a group name for clay minerals, encompassing the phyllosilicates kaolinite, dickite, nacrite, and halloysite with its metaforms, allophane and imogolite. It is synonymous with the group term kandites which is un-approved and seldom used in the literature, but mentioned here for completeness.

 — The simplest clay mineral is kaolin. Each "sheet" within the kaolin structure is comprised of a silica tetrahedral layer and an aluminum octahedral layer (Figure 10.5.2). The combination of one tetrahedral layer and one octahedral layer makes this a …

kaolinite. clay mineral, any of a group of important hydrous aluminum silicates with a layer (sheetlike) structure and very small particle size. They may contain significant amounts of iron, alkali metals, or alkaline earths.

 — Kaolin clay is a highly versatile, effective, and beneficial natural mineral with diverse uses and applications across a range of industries. If you are looking for mineral ingredients to optimize your manufactured products, consider the advantages of kaolin clay.
