Pyrophyllite is a member of phyllosilicate mineral spices, or Leaf silicates, which have sheet-like structure. It belongs to the clay family and composed of aluminium silicate hydroxide : AlSi2O5OH. The phyllosilicates from stacks of silicate layers that are composed to SiO4 tetrahedrons and the sheets are not directly linked above or below to the next silicate sheets.
In pyrophyllite, two silicate layers are sandwitched in between the so called gibbsite layer. Gibsite Al(OH)3, is its own mineral and is composed or octahedrally coordinated aluminiums surrounded by six hydroxides. The Gibsite layer (G) in pyrophyllite is identical to gibsiteâ??s structure except that four of the hydroxides are replaces by four oxygens from the silicate layer (S). The overall pyrophyllite can be imagined as stacked S-G-S sandwitches. The bonding between these sand witche is nearly nonexistent and gives rise to pyrophyllite's softness and perfect cleavage.
Pyrophyllite is also identical in physical properties to a quite distinct mineral called talc. The two are isomorphous, meaning they share the same monoclinic structure but have different chemistries. Talc has magnesiums instead of aluminums and is basically indistinguishable from pyrophyllite without a chemical test for aluminum. The test for aluminum involves applying a slight amount of cobalt nitrate solution on the specimen and then igniting the solution. The specimen should change color; a blue color confirms pyrophyllite, a violet color confirms talc.
Pyrophyllite is a mild mineral (hardness of 1.0 to 1.5 on Mohs scale) with pearly luster. It has lower the firing temperature, reduces shrinking and cracking, and improves thermal shock resistance.
Major application of pyrophyllite is in ceramics as talc counterpart, particularly in the manufacture of white ceramic products such as floor tile, wall tile, and electrical porcelain. Because of its PCE of 30 to 32 (moderate to high duty), pyrophyllite is used as refractory in brick form or monolith, other applications of pyrophyllite are as insecticide carrier and extender in paint, Filler in plastics, paper, rubber, and vinyl tiles.
Pyrophyllite when calcined are used in Engineering Ceramic products. While refined Pyrophyllite after calcination is suitable for paint application as an extender. At the same time It is most suitable as an active filler in Thermoplastics when micronized and surface modified.
Fuller's earth is any clay material that has the capability to decolorize oil or other liquids without the use of harsh chemical treatment. Fuller's earth typically consists of palygorskite . Modern uses of fuller's earth include as absorbents for oil, grease, and animal waste (cat litter) and as a carrier for pesticides and fertilizers. Minor uses include filtering, clarifying, and decolorizing; active and inactive ingredient in beauty products; and as a filler in paint, plaster, adhesives, and pharmaceuticals It also has a number of uses in the film industry and on stage.

Potash Feldspar is a naturally occuring Potassium Alumino Silicate rock occurring in pegmatite bodies. 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 impurities namely clay, and other foreign matter all occur as fine bodies below one mm.
It is used in many industries like Ceramics, Glass Industries, Pottery, Battery, lead-acid automotive, Beverage glass, Fluorescent light, Mirror Plate, ceramic, Polyvinylchloride (PVC) plastic pipe Sink, ceramic Television picture tube, Tile, Sanitary, bulb , tube light etc.
Salient Features
Best for Ceramic & Sanitary Ware Manufacturing - Application in both Glaze (K2O > 11.5%) & Body (K2O >10.5%) - gives White Firing Colour.
Glass Grades - better fluxing from K2O > 10% (total alkalies > 13%), Alumina > 17% for strength, Low Iron Fe2O3 at < 0.5%.
High Potash K2O >11% for Flux coated Welding Electrodes.
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.

Bentonite is a clay generated frequently from the alteration of volcanic ash, consisting predominantly of smectite minerals, usually montmorillonite. It is an absorbent aluminium phyllosilicate clay consisting mostly of montmorillonite.
The term Bentonite was first used for a clay found in about 1890 in upper cretaceous tuff near Fort Benton, Montana. The main constituent, which is the determinant factor in the clay's properties, is the clay mineral montmorillonite. This in turn, derives its name from a deposit at Montm

Calcite is a rock-forming mineral with a chemical formula of CaC03. It is extremely common and found throughout the world in sedimentary, metamorphic and igneous rocks. Some geologists consider it to be a ubiquitous mineral. Calcite Powder is a natural form of Calcium Carbonate with extremely high whiteness, purity and free flowing in nature.
Use of calcite powder:
It finds use in ceramics, glass, rubber, textile, paint, mortar, cement industries, dairy, food, transparent variety and other many use
