The Kaolin industry refers to the mining, processing, and utilization of kaolin, which is a type of clay mineral. Kaolin, also known as china clay, is a soft white clay that is rich in kaolinite, a mineral composed of aluminum silicate. It is formed through the weathering of aluminum silicate minerals, such as feldspar.

Kaolin has various industrial applications due to its unique properties. Its primary use is in the manufacturing of paper, where it is used as a filler and coating pigment. Kaolin improves the brightness, opacity, printability, and smoothness of paper products. It is also used in the production of glossy magazine paper, packaging materials, and coated paperboard.
