Kaolin - Kaolinite Mineral With Silicate And Gibbsite Layers, Various Sizes Available

We have gained huge accolades in the market, as we are engrossed in providing a top quality approved this Kaolin in the market. It is Kaolinite, which is named for its type locality, Kao-Ling, Jianxi, China; is a common phyllosilicate mineral. It lends it name to the Kaolinite Group, members of which also belong to the larger general group known as the Clays. Kaolinite's structure is composed of silicate sheets (Si2O5) bonded to aluminum oxide/hydroxide layers (Al2(OH)4) called gibbsite layers. Gibbsite is an aluminum oxide mineral that has the same structure as these aluminum layers in kaolinite. The silicate and gibbsite layers are tightly bonded together with only weak bonding existing between these silicate/gibbsite paired layers (called s-g layers). The weak bonds between these s-g layers causes the cleavage and softness of this mineral. The structure is very similar to the Serpentine Group and at times the two groups are combined into a Kaolinite-serpentine Group. Apart from this, we provide this Kaolin to our patrons in several designs and sizes to choose from.
