Making Its Mark on Adhesive and Sealant

Kaolin’s unique properties make it an excellent filler for adhesive and sealant as it will help in the binding as kaolin is a more viscous product. Besides, it is also a good barrier as it can prevent the penetration of air, gas, fire or liquid from one location through a barrier into another. Insolubility of kaolin in water and other liquids also makes it a desirable property when it is used to shut openings of concrete walls or drywall.
