Price:
Minimum Order Quantity : 250 Kilograms
Product Type : Minerals
Main Material : Hydrated Aluminum Silicate
Types of Refractories : Basic Refractory
Melting Point : Light Kaolin IP does not have a welldefined melting point because it decomposes before it can melt. Upon heating, kaolin undergoes several transformations: Dehydration: At temperatures between 400650C, kaolin loses its water of hydration and converts to metakaolin (AlSiO). Transformation to Mullite: At higher temperatures (approximately 1,0501,250C), metakaolin begins to crystallize into mullite (3AlO2SiO), a more stable phase. Instead of melting, kaolin undergoes these phase changes, and the material begins to break down or transform rather than become liquid. The decomposition temperature of kaolin typically starts around 1,000C, depending on the processing conditions.
Solubility : In Water: Insoluble, but can form a suspension when mixed. In Organic Solvents: Insoluble, maintaining its solid form in solvents like alcohol or acetone.
Minimum Order Quantity : 50 Kilograms
Product Type : Minerals
Main Material : Hydrated aluminum silicate
Types of Refractories : Basic Refractory
Melting Point : The melting point of Kaolin USP is not a defined temperature because it is a mineral clay composed primarily of kaolinite (a hydrated aluminum silicate). Instead of melting, kaolin undergoes a dehydration and structural transformation when heated. Thermal Behavior of Kaolin: Dehydration: Kaolin begins to lose its water content around 500C (932F). Transformation to Metakaolin: At temperatures above 550C to 600C (1022F to 1112F), kaolin converts into metakaolin, a form of anhydrous aluminum silicate. Further Heating: At temperatures above 1100C (2012F), kaolin can melt and become a glassy phase, but this is typically beyond the standard use temperatures. Kaolin does not melt in the conventional sense; instead, it undergoes thermal decomposition and structural changes as the temperature increases.
