Thanks to technological know-how and modern procedures, we bring first-class products to the market. When processing kaolin, we mainly use natural resources. We use water to perform the process of washing and dewatering. We achieve its high whiteness by magnetic separation. We further process fine-grained kaolin by thickening, pressing, drying and grinding.
