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.

Interesting Facts
1. Name Origin: The name \"feldspar\" comes from the German words "feld" meaning field and "spath" meaning spar.
2. Economic Importance: Soda feldspar is an important mineral in the ceramics and glass industries.
The feldspar mineral is by far the most plentiful mineral found beneath the earth. It is used in most of the daily usage products. Feldspars are classified into three types: feldspar, pegmatite, and feldspathic sand, and their alumina and alkali content make them ideal for industrial purposes
Feldspars and pegmatites are useful functional fillers in the paint and glue industries, as well as fluxing agents in ceramics and glass manufacture.
Feldsparâ??s physical properties include high potassium and low iron content. It has pH stability and has consistent hardness with a rating of 6 to 6.5 on the Mohs scale. It is majorly found and mined in the state of Rajasthan.
We at Aryan tiles develop Feldspar minerals with the specialized qualities to cater to the specific industries such as ceramics, glass, and paints to mention a few.
Feldspar is an excellent source of alumina leading to improvement in the end-product hardness, durability, and chemical corrosion resistance.
A feldspar is typically referred to as 'potash' if there is significantly more potassium than sodium
(typically there will be 2-5% Na2O).
It is also used as fluxing agent for flat and container glass, as well as insulation wools and also in the ceramic industry. Our Feldspar mineral is known for its low quantities of colored oxides, making them ideal for manufacturing white tiles and sanitary ware.
Further, Feldspar is also used in paints industry as it has great dispersibility, chemical inertness, pH stability, abrasion resistance and low viscosity.
White soda feldspar has high sodium content. It is a common raw ingredient used in glass, ceramics, and to some extent in paint, plastics, and rubber as a filler and extender. The alumina from feldspar improves the hardness, durability, and chemical corrosion resistance of glass. Feldspar's alkalis (calcium oxide, potassium oxide, and sodium oxide) operate as a flux in ceramics, reducing the melting temperature of a mixture.
We at Aryan Tiles have an enormous selection of both white potash and white soda feldspar minerals. We have a deep understanding of how our Feldspar minerals can be used in manufacturing our customersâ?? end-products and suit their particular industryâ??s needs. And, thus we have been able to supply to various industries and optimize our customersâ?? product manufacturing with our premium quality mineral
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.

Applications of sodium feldspar india
The glass and ceramic industries are the major consumers of Sodium feldspar india and account for 95% of the total consumption.
Sodium Feldspar India 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.sodium feldspar is also used as an important ingredient in the glass sand batch.sodium feldspar india Used as a bonding agent in the manufacture of bonded abrasives like wheels and discs of garnet, corundum, emery etc.
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 manyapplications and the purity is the indication of better fusibility in the application.
