Why Kaolin

The role our kaolin plays in your feed formulation

Flowability & Anti-Caking

Low moisture pickup keeps feed and premix blends free-flowing during storage and transport.

Pellet Binding Strength

Improves pellet durability and reduces fines during extrusion and pelletizing.

Uniform Nutrient Distribution

Consistent particle size helps carry and evenly disperse micro-ingredients through the mix.

Low-Impurity Consistency

Batch-to-batch uniformity verified in our in-house QC lab.

FAQ's

Animal Feed Kaolin — Common Questions

Kaolin acts as a natural anti-caking agent and flow aid in feed and premix blends, and as a binder that helps pellets hold their shape while carrying and evenly distributing minerals and micro-ingredients.

Yes. Our food-grade kaolin grades are supplied for pet food and pellet binder applications as well as general livestock feed anti-caking and feed premix carrier use, subject to the buyer's applicable feed safety regulations.

We supply feed-grade kaolin in 25 kg and 50 kg HDPE bags, 1-tonne jumbo (FIBC) bags, and bulk container loading for larger feed mills.
