Kaolin's natural plasticity makes it easy to mold and shape, which is essential for applications in ceramics and pottery. When mixed with water, kaolin exhibits a high level of plasticity, allowing it to be molded into various forms without cracking or losing shape. This property is crucial in ceramic and porcelain production, where kaolin provides the necessary workability for creating intricate shapes and designs. Additionally, kaolin's plasticity aids in the production of smooth, even coatings and slurries, making it valuable in paper, paint, and plaster applications.
Britex-108 metakaolin offers porous platy structure, high oil absorption, ultrafine particle size, concentrated particle size distribution, good dispersity, and low abrasion value. It is mainly used for premium paper, which can improve thermal paper surface smoothness printing adaptability, increase the thermal paper opacity and glossiness and improve the appearance of the thermal paper.It also can adapt to the specific function of thermal paper. It can aslo used for coatings, improving the storage stability of the coating surface.
