Kaolin is a highly pure white clay from the decomposition of feldspar rocks, being a hydrated aluminum silicate. Its chemical formula is [AL4 SI4 O10(OH)8], its specific weight is 2.6, and its hardness on the Mohs scale it is 2, it is characterized by its shape of fine particles and its chemical inertness. Other important properties are: it is hygroscopic (absorbs water); Its plasticity is low to moderate. High whiteness, its inertness to chemical agents, it is odorless, electrically insulating, moldable and easy to extrude; It resists high temperatures, is non-toxic or abrasive and has high refractoriness and ease of dispersion. It is compact, soft to the touch and difficult to fuse. It has great covering and absorbing power and low viscosity in high percentages of solids.
Silmin iberica offers a wide range of high purity kaolin for the industry.
We represent, market and distribute kaolin of high quality and purity. The granulometric diversity that we can supply allows us to supply the appropriate size of the product depending on its application.
Silmin Ibérica ensures the logistical supply for the entire range of kaolin for the industry.
We supply and distribute kaolin, using dump trucks, dump trucks, tank trucks, big bags and bagging.
The extremely advanced treatment capabilities of the kaolin that Silmin Ibérica distributes and markets allow us to offer a high-purity product, in order to satisfy the requirement for specific data by manufacturers who need very pure kaolin for various industrial applications.The uses of the washed kaolin are multiple, due to its properties such as whiteness, inertness against chemical agents, absence of toxicity, fine particle size, large specific surface area, high hiding power, high refractoriness, absorbent and adhering capacities, etc. This, together with its abundance and wide global distribution, make kaolin one of the non-metallic raw materials, with the greatest consumption and industrial importance.
In agriculture, its use is becoming more widespread, with very positive results in the ecological control of fruit flies in citrus, flies and prays in olive trees, and psylla in pear trees.
