Minerals containing varying amounts of potassium, an important source of alumina in the ceramics manufacturing industries.
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.
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.
Our Potassium feldspar is a high-quality mineral renowned for its potassium oxide (K2O) content of 12.5%. Available in lumps, chips, and powder forms Specifications: SiO2 (Silicon Dioxide): 65.51% TiO2 (Titanium Dioxide): 0.03% Al2O3 (Aluminum Oxide): 18.03% Fe2O3 (Iron Oxide): 0.04% CaO (Calcium Oxide): 0.23% MgO (Magnesium Oxide): 0.07% K2O (Potassium Oxide): 12.65% Na2O (Sodium Oxide): 3.35% LOI (Loss on Ignition): 0.30% Available Forms: Lumps, Chips, and Powder
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. Product Variants: Granular Particles Powder form (100-350 Mess BSS) Lumps (Dressed ore in raw form) Packing: The standard packing units are 50 kg HDPE Bags, 1000 Kg, and 1350 Kg jumbo bags. However, we can also make the packing units as per customer requirements.
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.

Features Of Feldspar Feldspar is most common rock-forming mineral. It generally white or very light in colour. The feldspar refers to the group of Aluminium silicate of potassium, sodium and calcium. Among the numerous rocks in which they are present the feldspars are particularly abundant in igneous rocks. Applications Ceramics Sanitaryware Catalyst Decorative stone
Specifications Products : Potash Feldspar Use : Industrial Use Color : Pink to White Form : Powder Packing Type : Small Plastic Bags / Jumbo Bags Packaging size : 50kgs / 1000-1200 kgs Feldspar are chemically alumino-silicates. There are several types of feldspar available in the state of Rajasthan (India): Most deposits offer sodium feldspar, potassium feldspar and mixed feldspar. The fusibility of the mineral make it useful raw material for many application and the purity is the indication of better fusibility in the application. The geological context specific to each deposit gives the feldspar a variety of physical and chemical properties, thus providing products for a full-range of ceramic and glass making applications. At mines the deposits are blasted to break up the rock and make it accessible to the diggers and loaders. The material after breaking up are manually sorted to prepare feed stocks and than each lot is tested with a view to providing the process plant with a constant homogeneous supply that is appropriate for the application purposes. The selected material is than transported to the users. The remaining product (R/O) is directly sold in the form of sand to glass manufacturers or ground for ceramic markets. The processing techniques at PEEKAY MINERALS ensures consistent quality freedom from impurities at pocket friendly costs.
