Potassium feldspar, also known as K-Feldspar, is a common type of feldspar mineral that is composed of potassium, aluminium, and silica. It is one of the most abundant minerals in the Earth's crust and is found in many types of rocks, including granite, gneiss, and pegmatite, that has a wide range of industrial and scientific applications. Its unique properties make it a valuable resource in a variety of fields, from manufacturing to geology. For example, it is a key ingredient in the manufacture of glass and ceramics, where it is used as a flux to lower the melting point of the materials. It is also used as filler in plastics, rubber, and other materials. We, SRS Minerals are equipped to supply Good quality K-Feldspar, with Potassium content up to 12% in Lumps from 1-300mm size, and in powder form, if required.
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.

Zimbabwe "BIKITA minerals (pvt) ltd" production of lithium feldspar and lithium feldspar, compared with many obvious advantages. For example: pure, very low iron content, no need to calcine (refers to the ceramic industry), good results, high efficiency, environmental protection, cost-effective and so on. There are a variety of grades to choose from, can meet the requirements of different industries. Containing 4.0-4.7% lithium.
feldspar is the name given to a group of minerals distinguished by the presence of alumina and silica (SiO2) in their chemistry. This group includes aluminum silicates of soda, potassium, or lime. It is the single most abundant mineral group on Earth. They account for an estimated 60% of exposed rocks, as well as soils, clays, and other unconsolidated sediments, and are principal components in rock classification schemes. The minerals included in this group are the orthoclase, microcline and plagioclase feldspars. please send us your inquiry to get you the price.
