Rubber and plastics
China clay (Kaolin) is used in rubber and plastics as a reinforcing and functional filler. It enhances tensile strength, flexibility, abrasion resistance, and improves the surface finish of final products. It also helps in reducing shrinkage, improving dimensional stability, and lowering production costs.
Applications Include:
- Tyres and automotive rubber parts
- Rubber hoses, seals, and gaskets
- PVC cables and plastic pipes
- Footwear soles and floor mats
- Plastic packaging and molded products
Benefits of UMA China Clay:
- Improves mechanical strength and durability
- Enhances surface smoothness and finish
- Provides excellent dispersion and compatibility
- Reduces shrinkage and improves dimensional stability
- Cost-effective alternative to expensive fillers
