Hydrous kaolin can also be used in wire and cable applications, especially when electrical insulation is the primary requirement. It offers good dielectric properties and can enhance the mechanical strength of the final product.
One common type of kaolin used in wire and cable applications is calcined kaolin, which has been subjected to high temperatures to remove impurities and improve its brightness and electrical properties. Calcined kaolin of Shree ram minerals often preferred in these applications because it provides excellent IR (insulation resistance) & VR (Volume resistance) electrical properties, mechanical strength, and thermal stability.
