Kaolin is one of the most common minerals on earth, but deposits of commercial size and purity are relatively rare.

The Origin of Kaolinite

Kaolinite – commonly known as

kaolin clay and China clay – is a

naturally occurring mineral

with the chemical make-up of:

Al2Si2O5(OH)4

Seventy million years ago, the Atlantic

coastline stretched from Columbus to

Augusta, and the southern part of

Georgia was covered by the sea. The sea

wore down the Piedmont Rocks and

deposited a variety of minerals,

including an abundance of kaolinite,

along the former coastline, in what we

refer to today as Georgia’s kaolin belt.

Particle Morphology of Various Minerals

Crude kaolin clay can be found in

two types of deposits. Primary kaolin

deposits are mined where they

originally formed, while sedimentary

deposits are formed when primary

deposits are weathered and transported

to another location. As a result,

primary and sedimentary crude kaolin

clay exhibit different physical

properties. Primary kaolin is coarse in

particle size and is very platy. The platy

nature results in very high aspect

ratios. Primary deposits in Georgia can

respond favorably to traditional

brightness beneficiation, while the

primary deposits found in the United

Kingdom do not respond as well to

brightness beneficiation.

Sedimentary kaolin deposits represent

the majority of the kaolin clay that is

mined in Georgia. Sedimentary kaolin

is traditionally finer in particle size

and less platy in nature when

compared to its primary counterpart.

Mineral morphology impacts the

performance of the final product and

“aspect ratio” is used to predict the

performance. Aspect ratio reflects the

ratio of the diameter of the pigment

divided by its thickness. Higher aspect

ratios indicate more “platiness.”

Kaolin clays are platy (lamellar), provid-

ing the following benefits:

— impart barrier properties (tires,

rubber membranes, adhesives,

coatings)

— impart smooth extrusions (plastic,

polyester, rubber, pultrusion)

— impart good coating “hold-out”

Shape Aspect Ratio Example

Cube 1 Zirconia, Flourite, Halite, Pyrite, Feldspar

Sphere 1 Plastic, Glass, Latex Sphere

Block 1 – 4 Anatase, Quartz, Barite, Calcite

Plate 4 – 30 Kaolin, Talc, Pyrophyllite, Sulfur

Flake 80 – 200 Mica, Metallic Pigments, Graphite

Fiber 20 – 200+ Sepiolite, Glass Fiber, Talc, Attapulgite, Wollastonite

Unlike air-floated kaolin production, wet process beneficiation used by KaMin LLC dramatically improves the purity, consistency and brightness of nature’s kaolin deposits.

Crude clay is “blunged” at the mine

and this represents the first of

numerous engineering steps in

developing custom grades of kaolin.

Crude kaolin is blunged with water,

dispersants and pH-adjusting

chemicals to make the product fluid.

Sand is removed using a dragbox or

degritting centrifuge and the kaolin is

ready for passage from the mine to

the plant. The kaolin is moved to the

plant through a series of underground

pipes, the longest stretch being 26

miles. This is just the beginning of the

water-wash process.

Once at the plant, crude kaolin is

“centrifuged” to separate coarse and

fine particle fractions. This is often

called “cutting” the product.

A magnetic separation process

(developed by us) is used to remove

iron-stained anatase titanium dioxide

and other impurities. This process is

finely tuned to remove even slightly

magnetic contaminants.

The most efficient method of

increasing brightness of grey crudes is

ozonation – a chemical oxidation of

organic contaminants. In addition,

chemical leaching reduces the iron

contaminants to a soluble form. These

unwanted oxides are then washed-out

during the filtration step. Chemicals

are added to flocculate the particles for

efficient vacuum filtration. This washes

the kaolin and effectively increases

solids.

After filtration the product falls into a

high speed mixing tank where

dispersants “fluidize” the slurry. This

slurry can then be shipped for some

customer applications, or undergo

further processing, including drying,

milling, calcining or surface treatment.

BrightnessSince kaolin is widely used to extend

white pigments (like TiO2) and because

of its consistent performance in

white-base formulations (like paints,

plastics and sealants), brightness is

often a critical factor in selecting the

right kaolin. As you might expect,

brightness is important in white

coatings but kaolin’s index of

refraction is relatively low which also

allows use in dark colors without

impacting tint strength.

Particle Size and Particle Size DistributionThe size of the primary kaolin clay

particle does not change with

beneficiation. In fact, with the

exception of delaminated kaolin,

the primary particle size that is found

in the crude deposit will remain

constant through the entire water-

washing process. This distinction is

what separates one manufacturer’s

performance from another and

underscores the importance of

dedicated research, planning and

exploration programs. Formulators

are sensitive to batch-to-batch

variations in particle size distribution.

KaMin’s grades of kaolin are carefully

manufactured to minimize this

naturally occurring variation.

Mining In order to ensure the properties of the

final kaolin product are consistently

within specifications, significant time

goes into the planning and mining of

the crude kaolin. Mine planning begins

with core drilling on 100-foot centers

to fully characterize the properties of

the crude. The cores are analyzed in

KaMin’s reserve analysis laboratory for

physical properties including

brightness, particle size, residue and

pH. As the kaolin is mined it is

stockpiled based on the physical

properties measured during core

testing. Final crude blends are

determined by optimizing the

properties of each stockpile for the

finished product.

pHAs mentioned earlier, consistent pH

is necessary to ensure easy formulation

in the end-use application. Consistent

pH is also critical to the processing of

kaolin. The pH of the kaolin is targeted

at 6 – 8 for efficient processing and in

order to reach minimum viscosity.

Viscosity and pH are rigorously

monitored from crude to finished

product because they are critical to the

efficiency and quality of many

processes – including centrifuging,

spray-drying and slurry production.

DispersionOne of the single-most important steps

to incorporate kaolin is a formulator’s

understanding of its dispersion

properties in water- and solvent-based

systems. See the chart on page 10 for

more discussion.

ContaminantsThe chart on page six discusses

common contaminants encountered

when mining crude kaolin.

How to Choose the Right Grade of Kaolin

Cores are drilled at pre-set intervals.

The cores are brought to the core test lab where

tests are performed to determine quality.

7

Calcined Calcination results in air voids within

the clay particle (air – solid interfaces)

thereby increasing light scattering and

contributing to “dry hide.”

Calcined kaolin clay is produced when

hydrous kaolin is heated to over

1000°C. The crystal structure of the

calcined clay becomes amorphous. The

rearrangement of the crystal structure

of kaolin which comes with a loss of

hydroxyl groups makes calcined clays

harder, more abrasive and more porous

than their water-washed counterparts.

Calcined clays are available in powder

or slurry form.

Physical Properties of Kaolin Clay

Water-washed Water-washed kaolin is the work-horse

of the industry. Its wide use as an all

purpose filler and extender make it the

industry standard for driving down

total formulation costs.

Water-washed kaolin ranges from

ultra-fine (Polygloss® 90 and KaMin™

HG-90 kaolin) to coarse particle size

grades (KaMin™ 35 kaolin).

Water-washed Delaminated

Delaminated clays are processed

through specialized milling devices

that separate “booklets” into individual

platelets. Booklets describe the natural

stacks of kaolin that are inherent to

the mineral deposit.

Delaminated kaolin is ideal for barrier

applications – from paint primers to

tire inner liners for example – due to

its platy nature and high aspect ratio.

After proper dispersion, the plates

come to rest forming a barrier that

creates a “torturous path” for water, air

and other contaminants to penetrate.

8 Helps extend calcined clay

Calcined clays have different physical

properties than water-washed clays:

— Hardness: abrasion and scrub

resistance in coatings, reinforce-

ment in rubber

— Low moisture sensitivity: urethanes,

wire and cable

— Porosity: air voids provide light

scattering and extension of TiO2 in

highly filled systems, such as

interior flat paints

KaMin produces ultra-fine (KaMin™

2000C) and medium particle size

(KaMin™ 70C) grades. Oil absorption

and water demand are key factors in

choosing the right calcined kaolin.

Determining which form is right for your operation will have an impact on formulation, production and price.

Choosing the Ideal Form is Easy

Each product form has advantages,

depending on the application and

annual usage.

A key factor may also be storage. Bulk

storage (in silos) may be easier with a

bead or slurry while small or bulk bags

are preferred for powder products.

Formulators of water-based systems

currently using kaolin in powder form

should consider switching to kaolin

clay in bead form to:

— Lower raw material costs

— Reduce dusting

— Increase packaging options

Incorporation Ease no dispersing required – water-based system only

Dispenses in water-based systems with high shear mixing. Extremely difficult to disperse in non aqueous systems

Disperses easily in any system including solvent, solvent-free and water systems

Key Benefits Easy to use on site, easy to incorporate, low cost for high volume

Lower cost vs. powder form, lower dusting vs. powder form. Takes up less room in warehouse or on a truck

Most versatile. Can be used in almost all binder systems

Kaolin spray dried beads are hydro-

philic, and therefore, can be easily

dispersed in water-based systems when

high-speed mixers are available. The

water in the system, combined with

high speed mixing, disperses the spray

dried beads into its individual particles.

The same is not true for solvents

(acetone, mineral spirits, xylene and

even ethanol) which are usually not

hydrophilic enough to open the spray

dried beads. The exception is if the

mixing is extremely intensive, such as

with the use of sand mills or Banbury

mixers. Most grades of water-washed

kaolin clay are available commercially

in slurry, bead or powder form.

Chemically treated kaolin

Packaging OptionsOnce the kaolin clay is engi-

neered to spec, KaMin LLC

offers a variety of packaging

options, including:

— Small kraft bags

— Bulk bags

— Bulk truck carrier

— Bulk rail carrier

Some formulators choose surface-

treated kaolin to marry kaolin’s

particle shape, chemical resistance and

brightness with a treatment

that maximizes the kaolin’s value in

their end-use application.

Application Product(s)

Rubber nucap® 100G nucap® 190Wnucap® 290W

A functionalized silane is reacted onto a base kaolin product to improve the balance of mechanical properties. The functionality of the silane allows the kaolin to react with the rubber during vulcanization rather than just be surrounded by the rubber particle. This improves the balance of tensile strength and elongation.

Wire and Cable Polyfil® WC and Polyfil® WC-426

Low moisture calcined kaolin treated with a hydrophobic functional silane reinforces the compound and improves dispersion and wet electrical insulation properties.

nylon nylok® 171

Calcined kaolin does an excellent job reinforcing nylon. A silane treatment on kaolin speeds dispersion and allows chemical coupling to take place, increases crosslink density and physical properties.

Epoxy / Adhesives nulok® 390

nulok® 390 is a fine particle size water-washed kaolin treated with a functional silane to improve dispersion and increased tensile strength vs. untreated fillers.

Lithographic inks Lithosperse® 7005CS

Improved dot definition, reduced misting, easy dispersibility and water-resistance are all achieved when a unique chemical treatment is applied to the right particle size kaolin for ink applications. Lithosperse® 7005CS is used in inks because it: – economically imparts the ideal rheology to inks – can be post-added and still achieve excellent nPIRI grinds – resists migration into the fountain solution, allowing long uninterrupted printing runs

Crop ProtectionIn an environmentally conscious

market like crop and food

development, kaolin clay is valued for

its absorptive qualities and neutral pH.

Kaolin has found uses as a carrier for

miticides, pesticides and herbicides.

Adhesives Due to low cost and excellent

reinforcing properties, kaolin clays are

commonly used as extenders in

adhesives and sealants. There are a

variety of different particle sizes, forms

and surface treatments from which to

choose. Water-washed kaolin clays are

pH neutral and, acid and alkaline

resistant. With a low Moh’s hardness,

water-washed kaolin is not abrasive to

equipment. The platy nature of kaolin

clay imparts improved settling

resistance (compared to common

calcium carbonate fillers).

RubberKaMin kaolin grades are formulated in

compounds for an endless array of

rubber products, in a broad range of

end-use markets. From tires, gaskets,

belts, plugs, and mats, to thousands of

unique molded, extruded and

fabricated parts, KaMin’s treated and

untreated kaolin clays meet the

demanding needs of its broad customer

base.

— Reduce vapor and gas permeability

— Partial replacement for carbon black

— Reinforce rubber matrix

— Excellent TiO2 extender in

white-rubber applications

PlasticsTreated calcined clay in nylon disperses

easily, improves impact resistance and

extends and reinforces the compound

without water release. Wire and cable

compounders use both treated and

untreated kaolin, depending on their

requirements for mechanical and wet

electrical properties. Water washed

kaolin extends titanium dioxide in

lower melting thermoplastics

Kaolin for Free-FlowKaolin clay is an excellent additive to

dry powder mixtures – especially in

high humidity environments – to

reduce product caking/lumping,

bridging (in silos), poor flowability and

clogged and blocked filters. Free-flow

agents work like ball bearings between

product particles. Hydrous kaolin or

calcined clay can assist in equalizing

moisture by separating the dry-product

particles and reducing inter-particle

contact. This prevents moisture

molecules from linking and adversely

affecting flowability.

— Leveling compounds (latex powder)

— Rubber slip agents

— Plastic chips

— Herbicides, pesticides and biocides

— Pet food and feed stock
