White kaolin clay for paper coating, ceramics, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics. Low iron content with excellent brightness.
Nigerian kaolin deposits are among the purest in West Africa, found extensively in Plateau, Ekiti, and Ogun states. Our kaolin is a high-quality white clay mineral (kaolinite) processed through wet and dry beneficiation methods to achieve the brightness and particle size distribution demanded by international markets.
Kaolin is versatile industrial mineral used as a coating and filler in paper, a key ingredient in ceramics and porcelain, and an essential component in pharmaceutical and cosmetic formulations. Our processing ensures consistent quality with high brightness (≥85% ISO) and low grit content.
Certified quality parameters verified by independent laboratories.
