POTASH FELDSPAR ( POTASSIUM FELDSPAR)

 Potash feldspar is a common Raw Material , refers to  collection of aluminum Silicate of Potassium, Sodium and calcium.

Applications:

  • Ceramics
  • Glass
  • Tableware
  • Sanitary ware

The Main use of Feldspar Mineral is in Ceramic and Glass Industries. In Ceramics, Feldspar acts as a flux to control the temperature provide hardness and durability. Compounding of tiles, Sanitary ware, Insulators and Glazes .Potash feldspar in Glass Production, where it supplies the Aluminum which enhances the strength /Transparency of Hollow Glass/ Flat Glass and Glass wool.

Is the main vitrifying agent in Ceramic bodies. The Majority of white ware Bodies contains 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.

Also Smaller Quantities are used in the manufacturing of Tiles, white ware, and sanitary ware.
