Kaolin uses are multiple and diverse. Kaolin are used as functional filler, extender, ceramic raw material and pigment because of its whiteness and fine particle size. Kaolin also hold importance as raw material in refractory applications, concrete, rubber and fiber glass manufacturing. We, as a Kaolin Exporter welcome any size of international orders from Middle East and other countries.
Applications:
Paper:
Kaolin used as a coating pigment and as a filler to replace fiber. It possesses desirable optical properties.
Concrete:
Kaolin helps to improve strength and durability of concrete. When added to concrete mix, reacts with free lime released during cement hydration to produce additional cementitious material, resulting in an improved high performance concrete.
Plastics :
Kaolin is widely used as filler in the plastics industry because of its inert chemical nature and its unique size, shape and structure.
Agriculture :
It is used as a carrier and diluent in fertilizers, pesticides and related products. It is suitable as carrier because it aides the retention of the formulations on the plant.
Rubber :
It is commonly used as functional filler in rubber applications. While Kaolin improves overall performance for Rubber in general, different types of white pigment play specific roles in rubber application.
Paint :
Kaolin used as an extender in paints. It reduces the amount of expensive pigment such as Titanium Dioxide. It assists with desirable rheological properties that help maintain proper dispersion and provide bulk to the product.
Ceramic :
Kaolin improves whiteness and brightness of ceramic body. Good plasticity, good shrinkage, low water absorption and casting rate are also very important properties of kaolin.
Kaolin also called as China Clay is nearly white in colour. It is distinguished from other industrial clays based on its fine particle size and pure colourings. Its ability to disperse in water makes it an ideal pigment.
The primary constituent in kaolin is the mineral kaolinite, a hydrous aluminum silicate formed by the decomposition of minerals such as feldspar. Hydrous kaolin is characterized by its fine particle size, plate like or lamellar particle shape and chemical inertness.

Zimbabwe "BIKITA minerals (pvt) ltd" production of lithium feldspar and lithium feldspar, compared with many obvious advantages.
For example: pure, very low iron content, no need to calcine (refers to the ceramic industry), good results, high efficiency, environmental protection, cost-effective and so on.
There are a variety of grades to choose from, can meet the requirements of different industries.
Containing 4.0-4.7% lithium.
Kaolin or china clay is a commercial clay composed principally of the hydrated aluminosilicate clay mineral kaolinite The commercial value of kaolin is based on the minerals whiteness and its fine controllable particle size
Kaolin has a range of industrial applications grouped into three main market areas Paper ceramics and specialty minerals
With our warehouses in Port Harcourt and Lagos we are positioned to effectively supply 2000-5000tons of Kaolin monthly
Metakaolin is form of calcined or dehydroxilated china clay. During calcination morphological, mineralogical and chemical changes occur which result in products with excellent optical properties.
Feldspar is most common rock-forming mineral. It generally white or very light in colour. The feldspar refers to the group of Aluminium silicate of potassium, sodium and calcium. Among the numerous rocks in which they are present the feldspars are particularly abundant in igneous rocks.
Applications
Ceramics
Sanitaryware
Catalyst
Decorative stone
Soda Feldspar is generally a clean white mineral which sources sodium, alumina, and silica along with some potassium and calcium. Albite mineral from which soda feldspar is derived is often tends to be white in appearance compared with the pinkish hue of orthoclase mineral from which potash feldspar is ground.
Feldspar is used as a flux in ceramic and glass industries. It also adds strength to the body. Feldspar is a rare occurrence of extremely pure mineral free from mica. The chief use of Feldspar is in the Ceramic and Glass Industries. In ceramic bodies, the main vitrifying (fluxing) agent is feldspar.

Potassium feldspar refers to a number of minerals in the feldspar group, and containing potassium: Orthoclase (endmember formula KAlSi3O8), an important tectosilicate mineral that forms igneous rock. Microcline, chemically the same as orthoclase, but with a different crystalline structure.

China clay is characterized by its fine particle size, high brightness and rheology.We develop fine and ultra fine grades of Hydrous Kaolin from our best reserves, for various industries including Paint, Paper, Printing Inks, Paper board, Rubber etc. China clay is a natural mineral found in partly decompo-sed granite, an igneous feldsparic rock. Chemically, kaolin is a hydrated aluminium silicate containing Al2O3.2SiO2.2H2O. Kaolin was first discovered in the mountainous province of Kiangsi, China in A.D. 500. The word kaolin derives from the Chinese character kaolin which means high ridge. It was first used by the Chinese to make high quality porcelain.
