Kaolin in the United States mainly replaces white pigments in the paint industry, especially titanium oxide; Different particle sizes and types of kaolin are used in different types of paints: coarse-grained American kaolin is used in paints that require a dull or flat gloss, while fine-grained kaolin is used to produce high gloss paints or to manufacture latex like pigments, which can make the coating have good opacity, corrosion resistance, and anti settling properties, improve film hardness, and improve film quality.

The main role of American kaolin in paint is as a filler and color substitute, as it has characteristics such as chemical inertness, high coverage ability, ideal fluidity and suspension, low cost, and white color, which can reduce the demand for expensive dyes; In addition to the characteristics of ordinary kaolin mentioned above, calcined kaolin also has advantages such as irregular shape, excellent optical properties, high oil absorption rate and pigment volume concentration, low aging, wear resistance, and easy emulsification in water or oil media, and has high covering power.
