White clay, also known as kaolin, is mainly used in painting as a filler and primer. It has various important functions:
Primer for painting surfaces:
White clay is often used in gesso mixtures that are used to prime canvases and wooden panels. Its fine texture creates a smooth, even surface on which the paint adheres better and can be easily applied.
Filler in paints:
Kaolin is used in some paints as a filler to improve the consistency of the paint without affecting the brilliance of the color. This allows the paint to be applied thicker and increases the opacity.
Matting agent:
White clay gives the paint a matte surface. It can be used in combination with other binding agents to avoid a shiny finish, which is particularly advantageous for frescoes and murals.
Pigment stabilization:
Kaolin stabilizes pigments in paint mixtures and prevents them from settling or clumping during drying.
