  1. kaoline

    Kaoline, also known as kaolinite, is a type of clay mineral that is white, soft, and earthy. It is named after the region Kao-Ling in China where it was originally discovered. Kaoline is commonly used in the manufacturing of porcelain, medicines, cosmetics, and as a coating for paper to give it a glossy finish. Its compact nature makes it highly resistant to heat and electricity, making it is useful in industries such as electrical insulation and fire-resistant materials.
