Plastic Kaolin
Plastic Kaolin, a variant of the traditional kaolin sourced from the mineral kaolinite, has historically been a fundamental element in the crafting of porcelain tableware. In the modern era, Egypt Rider’s plastic kaolins have become indispensable in a myriad of applications, spanning from paper and paint to fiberglass, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals.

Egypt Rider’s plastic kaolins, also known as ‘Egyptian clay,’ are crystals of hydrated aluminum silicate, originating from the hydrothermal alteration of granite rocks. These hydrous kaolins possess a fine particle size, a plate-like structure, and chemically inert characteristics. The byproduct of kaolin calcination, metakaolin, functions as a pozzolanic white mineral additive for cement-based products. Furthermore, the process of high-temperature heating yields calcined kaolin, an anhydrous aluminum silicate, which heightens whiteness and hardness, consequently enhancing electrical properties while modifying particle size and structure.
Egypt Rider proudly offers an extensive array of innovative and sustainable engineered solutions based on plastic kaolin, catering to diverse industries such as ceramics, cosmetics, paper, packaging, paints, pharmaceuticals, plastics, and rubber.
Kaolinite, a silicate clay mineral with the chemical composition Al2Si2O5(OH)4, showcases several distinctive physical attributes:
– High luminosity
– Non-abrasiveness
– Naturally fine granules
– Refractoriness, maintaining whiteness post-calcination
– Low conductivity (both heat and electricity)
– Hydrophilic nature, easily dispersible in water
Recognized as the premier producer of plastic kaolin in Egypt, Egypt Rider operates deposits within the country.
Functioning as a catalyst for processes and an enhancer of performance, Egypt Rider’s plastic kaolins significantly contribute to refining surface functionalities in paper production and fiber-based packaging, enabling cost efficiency and fostering environmentally conscious procedures. These kaolins bestow gloss, smoothness, printability, and heightened barrier attributes in various applications.
In the realm of ceramics, kaolin assumes a pivotal role due to its elevated fusion temperature and its characteristic of firing to a white hue, rendering it ideal for sanitaryware, tableware, tiles, and refractories.
Egypt Rider’s plastic kaolins, inclusive of those from the Egyptian clay assortment, are revered as 100% natural ingredients in the cosmetics industry, renowned for their superior mattifying abilities and their capacity to absorb sebum and impurities effectively.
Within the construction domain, Egypt Rider’s plastic kaolins, metakaolins, and calcined kaolins amplify the mechanical properties, porosity, and aesthetics of concrete and cement. Kaolin serves as an exemplary alumina source for fiberglass production.
In formulations for decorative paints, kaolin operates as a natural opacifier and a partial substitute for titanium dioxide, especially when striving for a high gloss finish.
Egypt Rider’s engineered plastic kaolins act as multifaceted fillers, augmenting the performance of adhesives, sealants, plastics, and rubber.
Drawing upon extensive expertise, Egypt Rider collaborates closely with clients, perpetually innovating plastic kaolin-based solutions to heighten performance, curtail expenses, and mitigate environmental impact.
