ABSTRACT:
A method for producing calcined kaolin pigments of high opacifying properties and low abrasion. A kaolin crude is selected having a G.E. brightness in the range of 70 to 80, a titania content of 2.0 to 3.0% by weight, less than 2% iron expressed as Fe.sub.2 O.sub.3, and a particle size distribution such that at least 88% by weight of the particles of said crude are of less than 2 .mu.m E.S.D.. The crude is blunged with water, and the resultant slurry degritted to form an aqueous slurry having at least 65% by weight solids. The slurry is centrifuged and a fraction recovered having over 65% solids, and in which at least 92% by weight of the particles are of less than 2 .mu.m. The recovered fraction is dried to less than 1% moisture, and pulverized to break up agglomerates. The pulverized fraction is then calcined by heating same to 1450.degree. to 1600.degree. F. after which the calcined kaolin is milled to yield a product having a G.E. brightness of 79 to 81 and an Einleiner abrasion of not mere than 2.5 mg wt loss.
