High solids slurries of structured kaolin clay materials having improved high shear rheology and process for the manufacture thereof

摘要

A high solids structured kaolin clay slurry having improved high shear rheology is manufactured by a process which comprises the sequential steps of forming an aqueous composition by mixing water and a lithium- based dispersant and then mixing structured kaolin clay particles with the aqueous composition to form the desired high solids slurry.
