Kaolin is widely used in the ceramics industry as a key component in the production of porcelain and china. Its fine particle size and plasticity make it ideal for shaping and molding ceramic products. In the paper industry, it is employed as a coating and filler to enhance the brightness, smoothness, and printability of paper. Additionally, kaolin is utilized in the manufacturing of paints and coatings to improve opacity, durability, and texture. In the cosmetics sector, it is a common ingredient in face masks and powders due to its ability to absorb excess oil and impurities from the skin. It also finds application in the pharmaceutical industry as an excipient in tablet formulations and as an active ingredient in antidiarrheal medications. Furthermore, kaolin is used in agriculture as a soil conditioner to improve crop yield and in the production of pesticides and fertilizers. Its adsorbent properties make it valuable in environmental remediation for treating wastewater and contaminated soils.
