description Product Description
Kaolin is widely used in the production of ceramics, where it serves as a key ingredient to enhance the strength, whiteness, and plasticity of the final product. In the paper industry, it is utilized as a coating and filler to improve the brightness, opacity, and printability of paper. It also finds application in the cosmetics sector, particularly in skincare products, due to its ability to absorb excess oil and impurities from the skin.
