Soda Feldspar refers to group of Aluminum Silicate of sodium. The chief use of Feldspar is in the Ceramic and Glass Industries. Smaller quantities are used in the manufacturing of Tiles, Whiteware, and Sanitaryware. Other uses of Feldspar include Catalysts, Acid resistant and Decorative Stone as a flux or binding agent in certain scanning Soaps and artificial teeth.
In ceramic bodies, the main vitrifying (fluxing) agent is feldspar. The majority of white ware bodies contain good proportions of feldspar. It acts as a flux. In the ceramic industry, the flux is defined as that portion of the body which develops glass phase. This is provided mostly by feldspar. The amount of flux in a ceramic body should be only in such a proportion as to develop the desired amount of vitrification. If excess of flux is added, the fired body becomes very glassy and consequently, brittle.

We offer a wide range of Soda Feldspar.
Soda Feldspar is generally a clean white mineral which sources sodium, alumina, and silica along with some potassium and calcium. Albite mineral from which soda feldspar is derived is often tends to be white in appearance compared with the pinkish hue of orthoclase mineral from which potash feldspar is ground. 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.

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.

What is Soda Feldspar? Soda Feldspar is a white metal which contains sodium, alumina, and silica, as well as a small amount of potassium and calcium. Soda feldspar melts more easily than other types of feldspar. What are the Specifications? Specifications of Soda Feldspar Serial No Chemical Composition Percentage (%) 1 SiO2 68.0% 2 Al2O3 19% 3 Na2O 10.5% 4 K2O 1% 5 Fe2O3 .15% 6 CaO 1% 7 Mesh +200 What are the Uses in Ceramics? Soda feldspar is an important element in the ceramic industry. It is used as a fluxing agent to create a glassy phase that quickens the melting of ceramic tiles. It is used in the creation of clay bodies and glazes. They primarily give wastes to the compositions in all situations, but they also offer extra alumina and silica. They have a higher melting point and their delivery of the soda feldspar is more liquid and less dense. What are the Applications in others? Soda Feldspar is a popular raw material used in ceramics, but it is also utilized as a filler and extender in paint, plastics, glassmaking, and rubber to some extent. It improves product hardness, durability, and chemical stability in glassmaking.
Applications: In glass making In ceramics production
Soda Feldspar with Na2O content from 8-10%. Soda Feldspar is generally a clean white mineral that sources sodium, alumina and silica along with some potassium and calcium. Basically, the two properties which make feldspars useful for downstream industries are their alkali and alumina content. Feldspars play an important role as fluxing agents in ceramics and glass applications, and also are used as functional fillers in the paint, plastic, rubber and adhesive industries. The glass & ceramic industries are the major consumers of feldspar. This makes it a very essential mineral in our day-to-day life.
