Illite is a common clay mineral, which is often weathered from muscovite and potash feldspar, produced in argillaceous rocks or altered by other minerals. It is often an intermediate transition mineral and forms other clay minerals.

Illite is rich in potassium, high in aluminum and low in iron, and has excellent chemical and physical properties such as smoothness, brightness, delicacy and heat resistance. Illite can freely release negative ions and far infrared rays.

Kaolin (also known as Guanyin mud, white eel mud, swelling rock, bentonite, sweet mud, bentonite, clay and white mud) is an aluminum-containing silicate mineral with soft white and fine particles, which looks like flour.

the difference is

Kaolin has good physical and chemical properties such as plasticity and fire resistance, and is widely used in ceramic industry.

Illite is widely used in industry, which can be used to make potash fertilizer, high-grade paint filler, ceramic accessories, high-grade cosmetics, raw soil regulator, feed additive for livestock and poultry, mixed raw materials of fan bone and asbestos soil for high-rise buildings, pollution purification of nuclear industry and so on. Especially in the daily chemical industry, illite has great application value.

Well-known enterprise

Shenzhen Longgong Biotechnology Co., Ltd. applied the adsorption+bacteriostasis of illite to oral daily chemicals, and its functional toothpaste was favored by consumers as soon as it went on the market.
