Kaolin, also known as china clay, is a type of soft clay used in manufacturing porcelain, rubber, paper, and paints. It is still used in many traditional processes, such as producing porcelain and bone china, and can also be used as a filler or coating for paper products and paints or to create lightweight construction materials. Kaolin has excellent thermal and electrical properties, making it popular in electronics manufacturing. In modern times, kaolin has become increasingly important in the pharmaceutical industry for its ability to absorb impurities from other substances, and its unique chemical composition makes it ideal for medical devices and drug delivery systems. As a result of its versatility and desirable properties, kaolin presents strong potential for further research and development to explore its new applications in various other sectors. The rapid expansion of the end-use industries is expanding the usage of kaolin. The absence of alkalis and iron in kaolin is a beneficial factor for its high consumption in ceramic applications. The increase in construction activities worldwide is elevating the demand for products such as paints & coatings, plastic, and ceramics, subsequently expanding the usage of kaolin. The presence of substitutes and high mining costs and regulations hamper the adoption of kaolin. The rising use of kaolin in wastewater treatment applications is expected to expand the scope of the kaolin market.
