MH Group supplies china clay powder to manufacturers that need a white, fine and chemically stable clay. China clay is the trade name for kaolin, a clay made mostly of the mineral kaolinite. Ceramic, paper, paint, rubber and plastics plants are its main buyers.
We work as a supplier, wholesaler and exporter from Karachi. A factory can buy china clay powder in Pakistan for its own line, a trader can buy kaolin clay in bulk for resale, and an overseas buyer can order an export lot. China clay sits alongside the other industrial minerals we supply from Karachi.
China clay and kaolin are the same material under two names. Kaolin takes its name from Gaoling, a hill village in China known for porcelain clay. It forms when feldspar in granite weathers over a very long time.
Buyers usually choose between raw and processed forms. Lumps cost less and suit plants that blunge the clay themselves. Washed and refined kaolin powder has less sand and mica, so it is whiter and finer. Calcined kaolin, heated to drive off its water, is harder and brighter for paint and plastics.
Kaolin adds whiteness and alumina to tile, sanitaryware and porcelain bodies, where it is often blended with ball clay for ceramic bodies.
Paper mills use china clay as a filler for opacity and as a coating that gives printing paper a smooth, bright surface.
As an extender, kaolin stretches costly white pigment and helps control gloss and flow in emulsion paints.
Fine kaolin reinforces rubber goods and fills PVC and cable compounds, where calcined grades also improve electrical insulation.
Glass fiber makers use kaolin as a source of alumina, and pesticide makers use it as a carrier powder.
The main benefit of kaolin clay is that it is white, soft, fine and chemically inert, so it fills, coats and whitens without reacting with the rest of the mix. Its flat, plate-like particles also help paper and paint surfaces lie smooth. Check three points before you order.
Paper and paint buyers work to a brightness figure, while ceramic buyers judge the color after firing.
Low iron and titanium oxide keep both the raw powder and the fired body white.
Particle size, stated as mesh or microns, and grit left on a sieve decide how smooth the final surface is.
Send the grade, brightness or chemistry you work to, the form you need, your monthly quantity and the delivery point. For paper, paint or rubber work, compare the test values from different china clay powder suppliers before the first bulk delivery, and run a trial if you are changing supplier.
MH Group also acts as a china clay exporter in Pakistan for overseas buyers, preparing export lots for shipment through Karachi. Traders and distributors can buy wholesale lots for their own markets.
A paint plant and a tile plant need different kaolin. We quote against your application rather than one general grade.
China clay can be ordered with ball clay, feldspar and white silica sand, so one supplier covers the main body materials.
We sell to factories, to traders who resell, and to importers abroad.
China clay, or kaolin, is used in ceramic tiles and sanitaryware, as a filler and coating in paper, as an extender in paint, as a filler in rubber and plastics, and as a source of alumina in fiberglass. Smaller amounts go into pesticides, medicines and cosmetics, which need their own purity grades.
No. Multani mitti is fuller’s earth, a clay rich in montmorillonite that absorbs oil and water strongly. Kaolin is a different clay, made mostly of kaolinite. It is whiter, absorbs less oil and is used mainly in ceramics, paper, paint and rubber rather than as a household cleansing clay.
The kaolin clay price in Pakistan, like the china clay powder price for any grade, depends on form, whiteness, fineness, quantity and packing. Washed or calcined powder costs more than raw lumps, and small retail packs cost far more per kg than bulk supply. For a current bulk rate, ask for a china clay quote.
Calcined kaolin is china clay heated in a kiln to remove its chemically bound water. The process makes the particles harder and brighter, so calcined grades suit paint, plastics and cable compounds. Raw or washed kaolin stays the usual choice for ceramics and most paper grades.
Yes, cosmetic makers use kaolin powder in face masks, powders and creams, but they need a cosmetic grade with tight limits on heavy metals and microbes. Industrial china clay made for tiles or paper is not meant for skin use. Tell us your application so the right grade is discussed.
