Doing the best I can, I have popped below the comparison of chemical compositions between the Imerys document and the SACMI document (with links to each document - thank you to Bio who identified the Imerys one). Apologies but I could not be bothered trying to get all the font sizing right to property show the chemical names.
It appears to have copied in an editable form so if there are any transpositional typos - I should be able to edit them in post.
On the left it sets out the chemical compositions - I have only included the tabled information where there is something I could see to compare. On the right it was the Kaolin for Tiles Glaze per the Imerys document.
Is anyone able to provide a plain-english explanation?
I am not able to and I do not know the full meaning of what each individaul input means and I do not actually know if putting the numbers side-by-side is in any way helpful.
With those caveats, it looks to me like ADN is sitting just fine with the other Imerys kaolin sources identified in their 2021 document.
Just a small exerpt also from the Imerys document for context, meaning that it is not just about one product being better across the board:
As a conclusion, no single kaolin is able to offer the maximum of green, dry, and fired performances at the same time. From the above study, Imerys kaolins can achieve the optimum balance of properties, by using them in combination. High kaolinite content products like KaoShine BB30 can provide the best whiteness and be used in combination with KaoShine MO50 to obtain a white body with good pressability for instance.
