Feldspar

Features Of Feldspar

Feldspar is most common rock-forming mineral. It generally white or very light in colour. The feldspar refers to the group of Aluminium silicate of potassium, sodium and calcium. Among the numerous rocks in which they are present the feldspars are particularly abundant in igneous rocks.

Applications
Ceramics
Sanitaryware
Catalyst
Decorative stone

We are manufacturer and exporter of potassium felspar and sodium feldspar.
We have lumps, power and grains.

Feldspar is a group of rock-forming minerals that are important components of soil and are also a major source of clay minerals. When feldspar weathers, it breaks down into clay minerals like kaolinite, which are crucial for soil formation and have various industrial applications.

We offer a wide range of Soda Feldspar.

Feldspar Pink 5 to 150 mm Potash 10 to 12 %

Feldspar Grey 5 to 150 mm Potash 10 to 13%

Potassium feldspar refers to a number of minerals in the feldspar group, and containing potassium: Orthoclase (endmember formula KAlSi3O8), an important tectosilicate mineral that forms igneous rock. Microcline, chemically the same as orthoclase, but with a different crystalline structure.

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.

Application Industries:
Ceramics, Tiles and Sanitaryware
Glazes
Glass Industry
Bonding agent for abrasives, wheels, discs, and other shapes.
Dental ceramics.

Product Variants:
Granular Particles
Powder form (100-350 Mess BSS)
Lumps (Dressed ore in raw form)

Packing: The standard packing units are 50 kg HDPE Bags, 1000 Kg, and 1350 Kg jumbo bags. However, we can also make the packing units as per customer requirements.

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.

Properties of Soda Feldspar
1. Hardness: 6-7 on the Mohs hardness scale.
2. Color: Typically white, gray, or pink.
3. Crystal Structure: Triclinic crystal system.
4. Density: 2.62-2.65 g/cm�³.

Uses of Soda Feldspar
1. Ceramics and Glass: Used as a flux to lower the melting point of quartz and other minerals.
2. Paints and Coatings: Used as an extender and filler.
3. Plastics and Rubber: Used as a filler and reinforcing agent.
4. Abrasives: Used in the production of abrasives, such as sandpaper.
5. Construction: Used as an aggregate in concrete and asphalt.

Benefits of Soda Feldspar
1. High Alkali Content: Soda feldspar has a high alkali content, making it useful in ceramics and glass production.
2. Low Melting Point: Its relatively low melting point makes it useful as a flux.
3. Abundant Supply: Soda feldspar is a relatively common mineral, making it widely available.

Occurrence of Soda Feldspar
1. Igneous Rocks: Found in igneous rocks, such as granites and syenites.
2. Metamorphic Rocks: Found in metamorphic rocks, such as gneisses and schists.
3. Sedimentary Rocks: Found in sedimentary rocks, such as sandstones and conglomerates.

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
