Vermiculite is a hydrated magnesium aluminum silicate mineral with the formula, (Mg,Fe+2,Fe+3)3[(Al,Si)4O10](OH)2 4H2O. It undergoes significant expansion when heated. Exfoliation occurs when the mineral is heated sufficiently, and the effect is routinely produced in commercial furnaces. Vermiculite can withstand up to 1200 degrees Celsius. It is an excellent thermal and acoustic insulator, capable of retaining moisture for a longer time. It had a neutral pH of 7, thereby doesn�??t react with any compounds or materials.

Quartz, widely distributed mineral of many varieties that consists primarily of silica, or silicon dioxide (SiO2). Large amounts of quartz sand (also known as silica sand) are used in the manufacture of glass and ceramics and for foundry molds in metal casting.
Crushed quartz is used as an abrasive in sandpaper, silica sand is employed in sandblasting, and sandstone is still used whole to make whetstones, millstones, and grindstones.
Silica glass (also called fused quartz) is used in optics to transmit ultraviolet light. Tubing and various vessels of fused quartz have important laboratory applications, and quartz fibers are employed in extremely sensitive weighing devices. Because of its piezoelectric property, a quartz plate can be used as a pressure gauge, as in depth-sounding apparatus.
Quartz is very resistant to both chemicals and heat. It is therefore often used as foundry sand. With a melting temperature higher than most metals, it can be used for the molds and cores of common foundry work. Refractory bricks are often made of quartz sand because of its high heat resistance.
Quartz sand has a high resistance to being crushed. In the petroleum industry, sand slurries are forced down oil and gas wells under very high pressures in a process known as hydraulic fracturing. The open fractures facilitate the flow of natural gas into the well bore.
Quartz crystals are used to make oscillators for watches, clocks, radios, televisions, electronic games, computers, cell phones, electronic meters, and GPS equipment.
Quartz makes an excellent gemstone.
Based on the application and customer requirement, quartz can be supplied in specified size. The three main variants are quartz powder, quartz lumps and quartz grits.
Talc or talcum is a clay mineral composed of hydrated magnesium silicate. Talc can be white, grey or green in color. Talc is used in many industries, including paper making, plastic, paint and coatings, rubber, food, electric cable, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and ceramics. It is often used for surfaces of laboratory table tops and electrical switchboards because of its resistance to heat, electricity and acids. Talc finds use as a cosmetic (talcum powder), as a lubricant, and as filler in paper manufacture. It is used to coat the insides of inner tubes and rubber gloves during manufacture to keep the surfaces from sticking. Talc, with heavy refinement, has been used in baby powder. Talc is highly resistance to heat and electricity, and is therefore used in electronics and as an insulator. It is also a filler material for paints, rubber and insecticides.
Talc is also used as an ornamental stone, being carved into figures, jewelry boxes, tiling, and art sculptures. Since it is so soft, it is very easily cut and carved.
Sodium feldspar is also called as Soda feldspar. Sodium feldspar finds applications in vitrified tile, ceramic glazes, castings, polymers and plastic compounding, ceramics, glass, abrasives paints. Sodium feldspar is used as an effective removing agent and is also used in food preservation.
Soda Feldspar is used in sanitary and porcelain tile bodies, as flux in ceramic manufacturing, in production of porcelain stoneware, sanitary pottery and glazes, wind Plates, vitrified enamels, special Electrical porcelain, opalescent glass, pottery.
Based on the applications and customer requirement, the three main variants of sodium feldspar available are Sodium feldspar powder, Sodium feldspar lumps and Sodium feldspar grits.
Potassium feldspar is also called as potash feldspar. Potassium feldspar is an important ingredient of high tension insulator and also used as filler and extenders in applications such as paints, plastics and rubber. It also finds application in paint, mild abrasives, latex foam, the welding rod coating. Potassium feldspar is used in ceramic flooring sector and sanitary ware. Potassium feldspar can be in Powder, lumps and grits form. Based on the specification of the customer, Potash feldspar can be supplied in different sizes.
