Specification

Description
Kaolin appears as odorless white to yellowish or grayish powder. Contains mainly the clay mineral kaolinite (Al2O3(SiO2)2(H₂O)2), a hydrous aluminosilicate. Kaolinite has mp 740-1785°C and density 2.65 g/cm³. Kaoline is insoluble in water but darkens and develops a earthy odor when wet.;DryPowder; DryPowder, Liquid; DryPowder, PelletsLargeCrystals, WetSolid; DryPowder, WetSolid; Liquid; OtherSolid; PelletsLargeCrystals; WetSolid; WetSolid, Liquid;WHITE POWDER.;White to yellowish or grayish powder. Odorless.;White to yellowish or grayish powder. [Note: When moistened, darkens & develops a clay-like odor.]
