FELDSPAR AND ITS VARIOUS USES: PALASH INTERNATIONALS

1. FELDSPAR AND ITS VARIOUS USES:PALASH INTERNATIONALS HERE’S AN OVERVIEW OF WHAT FELDSPAR IS AND ITS VARIOUS USES IN DIFFERENT INDUSTRIES:- What is Sodium Feldspar? Feldspar came from the German word ‘feldspat’ which means ‘a rock without an ore component’. Feldspars are extracted from metamorphic, granite rock formations called plutons. It can be found in color pink, white, gray, or brown. Feldspar is the name given to a group of minerals distinguished by the presence of alumina and silica (SiO2) in their chemistry. Feldspars (KAlSi3O8– NaAISi3O8– CaAl2Si2O8) are a group of rock- forming tectosilicate minerals that make up about 41% of the Earth's continental crust by weight. Feldspar is the most famous mineral that can be seen in the earth’s crust – and in our daily lives, Like dinnerware, bathroom and building tiles. Feldspar is used by various industries like Palash internationals in different applications. Palash Internationals is the most abundant Feldspar Manufacturers in India. Feldspar is of different types. It is actually classified into two: Plagioclase and Alkali. Plagioclase Feldspar:- The plagioclase feldspars are triclinic.

2. – Minerals that have a triclinic structure – Anorthite – Bytownite – Labradorite – Andesine – Oligoclase Alkali Feldspar:- Alkali feldspars are grouped into two types: those containing potassium in combination with sodium, aluminum, or silicon; and those where potassium is replaced by barium. – Minerals with monoclinic structure – Microline – Anorthoclase – Orthoclase – Sanidine What are the uses of Sodium Feldspar? Sodium Feldspar has various uses in our daily life for example: Glass – it is one of the most important raw materials needed when manufacturing glass. It acts as a fluxing agent that controls the viscosity of the glass. Ceramics– after clay, feldspar is the second most important raw material when manufacturing ceramic. It can make the ceramic more tough and durable. Fillers –because of its incomparable dispersibility, it can become good filler for paints, rubber, and plastics.

3. Enamel Frits and glazes –feldspar can assist in the composition of enamel that can help in making the finish of the product neat and spotless. Others– feldspar is used as a raw material in manufacturing paint, abrasives, latex foam, production of steel, road aggregate, and many others. Palash International is the best Feldspar Manufacturers in India. Where Feldspar is mainly applied? Ceramic applications Sanitaryware Glass containers Ceramic tiles Paint and Coatings Adhesives and Sealants Plastisols Elastomers Dinnerware Floor and wall tiles Artware Glazes Source of alumina glass Feldspar is a common raw material used to make dinnerware and bathroom and building tiles, Which is easily available at Palash Internationals. In ceramics and glass production, feldspar is used as a flux. A flux is a material that lowers the melting temperature of another material, in this case, glass Read More: Feldspar and it’s various uses: Palash internationals Palash Internationals is Quartz Grain Suppliers in India.
