Potassium and Sodium Feldspar
Potassium Feldspar
The name of “Feldspar” refers to group of Aluminum Silicate of potassium, sodium and calcium. The chief use of Potassium Feldspar is in the Ceramic and Glass Industries. Smaller quantities are used in the manufacturing of Tiles, Whiteware, and Sanitaryware. Other uses of Potassium Feldspar include Catalysts, Acid resistant and Decorative Stone as a flux or binding agent in certain scanning Soaps and artificial teeth.
Silent Features of Potassium Feldspar
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.
Applications of Potassium Feldspar
The glass and ceramic industries are the major consumers of feldspar and account for 95% of the total consumption.
Potassium Feldspar is generally used in making the body composition of several types of procelain, china and earthenware and also in the preparation of glazes and enamel. It is also used as an important ingredient in the glass sand batch. Used as a bonding agent in the manufacture of bonded abrasives like wheels and discs of garnet, corundum, emery etc.
Sodium Feldspar
The name of “Feldspar” refers to group of Aluminum Silicate of potassium, sodium and calcium. The chief use of sodium feldspar india is in the Ceramic and Glass Industries. Smaller quantities are used in the manufacturing of Tiles, Whiteware, and Sanitaryware. Other uses of sodium feldspar india include Catalysts, Acid resistant and Decorative Stone as a flux or binding agent in certain scanning Soaps and artificial teeth.
Silent Features of sodium feldspar
In ceramic bodies, the main vitrifying (fluxing) agent is Sodium feldspar. The majority of white ware bodies contain good proportions of sodium feldspar india. 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.
