Ko te Paura Kaolin he kohuke kore-whakarewa e tupu noa ana, ā, ko te kaolinite te mea nui, he ngohengohe te kakano, he pai te rahi o te matūriki, me ngā āhuatanga ā-tinana-matū motuhake. Ko ngā āhuatanga matua ko te mā o roto, te kirihou pai rawa atu, te koretake o te matū pumau me te kaha whakatārewatanga kaha—ngā āhuatanga e tino hiahiatia ana i roto i ngā hanganga ahumahi motuhake. Kāore i rite ki ngā kohuke e herea ana ki ngā tono whaiti, ka taea te whakarite i te paura kaolin mā te horoi, te whakakoi, te whakarerekētanga mata rānei kia uru pai ki roto i ngā pūnaha whakaputa kanorau, hei whakarei huna e whakaara ake ana i te mahi o ngā hua mutunga me te kore e aro ki a ia anō.

Ko ngā tikanga tukatuka e hanga ana i ngā āhuatanga mahi o te paura kaolin kia rite ki ngā hiahia o te ahumahi. Mā te horoi ka tangohia ngā poke me ngā kirikiri matotoru, ka whakarei ake i te parakore me te mā kia rite ki ngā tono e hiahia ana kia ma, kia ōrite te āhua. Ko te whakapūkara he whakamahana i raro i ngā tikanga whakahaere, e whakakore ana i te makuku me ngā mea rauropi, e whakarerekē ana i te hanganga tioata hei whakanui ake i te pakeke, te pumau o te wera me te māramatanga—he mea nui mō ngā hua e pāngia ana e ngā pāmahana teitei, e ngā taiao kino rānei. Ko te whakarerekētanga mata ka rongoa i ngā matūriki ki ngā kaihoko honohono, ka whakapai ake i te hototahitanga ki ngā matrices rauropi pērā i ngā kapia me ngā polymer, ka whakarite kia ōrite te horapa me te whakanui ake i ngā pānga whakapakari i roto i ngā rauemi hiato.

He nui te whakawhirinaki o te umanga piri me te hiri ki te paura kaolin hei whakakī mahi. Ka whakanui ake i te matotoru o ngā whakatakotoranga piri, ka ārai i te rere nui i te wā e pania ana, ā, ka whakarite kia tika te piri. Ko te rahi o te matūriki pai me te kaha whakatārewatanga kaha ka ārai i te whakatō me te whakarōpūtanga, ka pupuri i te ōritetanga o ngā piri i te wā e rongoa ana. Ka whakanui ake hoki te paura kaolin i te kaha piri mā te whakapai ake i te piri i waenga i te piri me ngā papa - ahakoa he rakau, he konganuku, he kirihou rānei, ka hanga he hononga piri, he pakari e ātete ana ki te tihore me te kutikuti. I roto i ngā hiri hanga, ka whakanui ake i te ngāwari me te ātete ki te huarere, ka taea ai e ngā hiri te urutau ki ngā huringa pāmahana me ngā nekehanga hanganga me te kore e pakaru, ka tiaki i ngā whare mai i te urunga wai me te hau.

E whakanuia ana te paura kaolin e te rāngai rauemi ātete wera mō tōna pumau wera me te teitei o te ira rewa. I konatunatua ki ētahi atu kohuke ātete wera, ka hangaia he hanganga mō ngā pereki ātete wera, ngā mea whakarewa me ngā arai oumu—ngā wāhanga matua o ngā taputapu ahumahi pāmahana teitei. Ka mau tonu te hanganga o ēnei rauemi ahakoa i raro i te wera nui, ka hanga he arai tiaki e tiaki ana i ngā oumu, ngā tauhohenga me ngā oumu mai i te kino. Ka ārai te ātete o te paura kaolin i te pakaru mai i ngā huringa pāmahana ohorere, he mea noa i roto i te hanga maitai, te hanga karāhe me te hanga sima. Ka whakakīia e ōna matūriki angiangi ngā āputa i waenga i ngā rauemi ātete wera, ka whakapai ake i te kiato me te kaha o ngā hua whakamutunga, ka roa ake te ora o te ratonga me te whakaiti i ngā utu tiaki.

Ka whakamahia te paura kaolin ki te umanga waituhi hei whakapai ake i te mahi tā. Ka whakapai ake i te rere o te waituhi, ka whakarite kia maeneene te whakawhiti mai i te pereti tā ki te papa, ā, ka ārai i ngā raruraru pēnei i te puranga waituhi, te takoto koretake rānei. Mā te kaha whakatārewatanga pumau ka noho rite te tohatoha o ngā matūriki tae, ka mau tonu te matotoru tae puta noa i ngā mahi tā. Ka whakanui ake te paura kaolin i te kaha hipoki o te waituhi, ka taea ai e ngā paparanga angiangi te kapi katoa, me te tere ake te tere maroke mā te mimiti i te makuku, i ngā whakarewa rānei—ka whakaiti i ngā tūponotanga paru me te whakanui ake i te pai o te whakaputa. Mā te koretake o te matū ka whakarite kia hototahi ki ngā kapia, ngā tae me ngā whakarewa, ka karo i ngā tauhohenga kāore e hiahiatia ka heke te kounga o te waituhi, te roa rānei o te rokiroki.

Ka whakamahia e te umanga kirihou me ngā rauemi hiato te paura kaolin hei tāpiri whakapakari. I tāpirihia ki ngā hanganga kirihou, ka whakarei ake i te pakari, te ātete wera me te pumau o ngā āhuatanga me te kore e whakararu i te kaha tukatuka. Ka horapa ōrite te paura kaolin kua whakarerekētia te mata i roto i ngā matrices kirihou, ka hanga hononga kaha e whakapai ake ana i te kaha kume me te ātete pānga. Mā tēnei ka taea te whakaputa hua kirihou mama ake, pakari ake mō ngā wāhanga motuka, ngā whare hiko me ngā wāhanga hanga. I roto i ngā rauemi hiato, ka mahi hei whakakī e whakarei ake ana i ngā āhuatanga miihini, ka whakaiti i te whakawhirinaki ki ngā muka hanga utu nui me te pupuri tonu i te mahi hanganga.

Ka whai hua anō hoki te rāngai tā me ngā taputapu tākai i ngā āhuatanga o te paura kaolin. Ka whakamahia i roto i ngā wanihi me ngā tānga-tāpiri hei whakarei ake i te kanapa, te ātete ki te rakuraku me te āheinga ki te tā. Ka whakapai ake te paura kaolin i te piri o ngā wanihi ki ngā mata tānga, kia roa ai te tiaki i a rātou mai i te kakahu me ngā āhuatanga taiao. I roto i ngā piripiri tākai, ka whakau i ngā hanganga me te whakapai ake i te kaha o te piri, kia mau tonu ai te hiri o ngā tākai i te wā e kawe ana me te penapena. Ka āwhina anō hoki tōna mā maori ki te pupuri i te mārama me te āhua o ngā rauemi tākai mārama, mārama rānei.
