In more detail, kaolin has the composition of richly 1:1 clay mineral of the Al 2 Si 2 O 5 (OH)4 for every alumina-silicate. The structure states that kaolin contains silicate sheets (Si 2 O 5) with a close bonding with aluminum oxide (hydroxide) layers (Al 2 (OH) 4). Together they produce what-so-called gibbsite layers.
