Overview of the Kaolin and Metakaolin Market
In its natural state, kaolin is white in color and
usually comprises varying amounts of different minerals such as
quartz, muscovite, anatase, and feldspar. Apart from its application
in the ceramic industry, kaolin is also utilized in filling rubber
for improving the mechanical strength and abrasion resistance of
rubber. It is also utilized as a flattening agent and extender in
plants. Metakaolin was conventionally used for manufacturing
porcelain and nowadays is utilized in mortar, shotcrete, and concrete
applications
On the basis of application, the kaolin market is
segmented into ceramics, paper, paints and adhesives, rubber,
fiberglass, cement, and others, including waste water treatment,
organic farming, refractories, etc. Amongst these, the segment of
paper led the market in 2012 and held a share of more than 40% in the
