Feldspar is by far the most abundant group of minerals in the earth's crust, forming about 60% of terrestrial rocks. Most deposits offer sodium feldspar as well as potassium feldspar and mixed feldspars. Feldspars are primarily used in industrial applications for their alumina and alkali content. The term feldspar encompasses a whole range of materials.
Introduction: - Feldspar is primarily used in industrial applications for its alumina and alkali content. Feldspar is a naturally occurring anhydrous, inorganic, igneous rock. The fusibility of the mineral makes it useful raw material for many applications and the purity is the indication of better fusibility in the application. There are two types of it depending On Na2O and K2O SODA FELDSPAR POTASH FELDSPAR Applications: - CERAMICS ENAMEL FRITZ & GLAZED INSULATORS GLASS MILD ABRASIVES PICTURE TUBES SANITARYWARE TABLEWARE VITRIFIED TILES WELDING ELECTRODE Available Mesh Size: - 100 - 500 MESH Custom sizes and Material of required specifications can be made in case of Bulk and Regular orders.

The feldspar mineral is by far the most plentiful mineral found beneath the earth. It is used in most of the daily usage products. Feldspars are classified into three types: feldspar, pegmatite, and feldspathic sand, and their alumina and alkali content make them ideal for industrial purposes Feldspars and pegmatites are useful functional fillers in the paint and glue industries, as well as fluxing agents in ceramics and glass manufacture. Feldsparâ??s physical properties include high potassium and low iron content. It has pH stability and has consistent hardness with a rating of 6 to 6.5 on the Mohs scale. It is majorly found and mined in the state of Rajasthan. We at Aryan tiles develop Feldspar minerals with the specialized qualities to cater to the specific industries such as ceramics, glass, and paints to mention a few. Feldspar is an excellent source of alumina leading to improvement in the end-product hardness, durability, and chemical corrosion resistance. A feldspar is typically referred to as 'potash' if there is significantly more potassium than sodium (typically there will be 2-5% Na2O). It is also used as fluxing agent for flat and container glass, as well as insulation wools and also in the ceramic industry. Our Feldspar mineral is known for its low quantities of colored oxides, making them ideal for manufacturing white tiles and sanitary ware. Further, Feldspar is also used in paints industry as it has great dispersibility, chemical inertness, pH stability, abrasion resistance and low viscosity. The white potash is a distinctive mineral with more potassium content. Our feldspar mineral is of high purity grade, free from impurities and naturally sourced. Our skilled personnel use technology advanced machines to extract the supplied feldspar under their close supervision. This feldspar is utilized in variety of industries, including building, mining, chemical, and others. It is also ideal for making porcelain and earthenware.
Potassium feldspar refers to a number of minerals in the feldspar group, and containing potassium: Orthoclase (endmember formula KAlSi3O8), an important tectosilicate mineral that forms igneous rock. Microcline, chemically the same as orthoclase, but with a different crystalline structure. Feldspar is used as a flux in ceramic and glass industries. It also adds strength to the body. Feldspar is a rare occurrence of extremely pure mineral free from mica. The chief use of Feldspar is in the Ceramic and Glass Industries. In ceramic bodies, the main vitrifying (fluxing) agent is feldspar. Application Industries: Ceramics, Tiles and Sanitaryware Glazes Glass Industry Bonding agent for abrasives, wheels, discs, and other shapes. Dental ceramics.

What is Potash Feldspar? Potassium feldspar is a group of minerals which contain potassium and belong to the feldspar group. It is either colorless or very light in color. K-feldspar is another name for it. Furthermore, potassium feldspar is divided into two types: microcline and orthoclase. What are the specifications of Potash Feldspar?

Potash feldspars are more commonly used in ceramics, matte glazes, and they can create a crystallographic structure which helps them to be bright. Itâ??s also one of the most vital elements in ceramic glazes for medium and high temperatures. Potash feldspar can be used in industry to make it harder to disable the material surface. What are the other uses? In the paint, plastic, rubber, and adhesive industries, potash feldspar is used as a fluxing agent. Itâ??s also used as a concrete mixture. Enamel, scouring powder, and glass are all made with it. Potassium feldspar comes in a variety of colors and has the same economic value as a gold ring. Potash feldspars are significant as stone elements; they are found in alkali and acidic igneous rocks, especially syenites, stones, pegmatites, and gneisses in large quantities
