Kaolin: New Zealand

New Zealand China Clays presents Kaolin New Zealand Halloysite, designed for the production of top-tier tableware, where the demand for exceptional whiteness and translucency is paramount. This material boasts extraordinarily low levels of Fe2O3 and TiO2.

Halloysite, an industrial mineral within the kaolinite group, shares a fundamental composition of alumina-silicates with kaolin. However, it distinguishes itself with its unique hollow tubular crystal structure, a departure from kaolin's booklet or platelet crystal arrangement.

Our halloysite products undergo meticulous processing to ensure a high degree of uniformity, providing customers with unwavering dependability. Noteworthy properties of halloysite include:

- Outstanding whiteness

- Exceptional translucency

- Mitigation of sag during firing

- Minimal presence of iron and titania
