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.
Webster Dictionary
Kaolinenoun
a very pure white clay, ordinarily in the form of an impalpable powder, and used to form the paste of porcelain; China clay; porcelain clay. It is chiefly derived from the decomposition of common feldspar
