Soda Feldspar/ Sudium Feldspar With Best Quality And Good Grade
Introduction:
Feldspar is a common raw material used in glassmaking, ceramics, and to some extent as a filler and extender in paint, plastics, and rubber. In glassmaking, alumina from feldspar improves product hardness, durability, and resistance to chemical corrosion. In ceramics, the alkalis in feldspar (calcium oxide, potassium oxide, and sodium oxide) act as a flux, lowering the melting temperature of a mixture. Fluxes melt at an early stage in the firing process, forming a glassy matrix that bonds the other components of the system together. In the US, about 66% of feldspar is consumed in glassmaking, including glass containers and glass fiber. Pottery (including electrical insulators, sanitaryware, tableware, and tile) and other uses, such as fillers, accounted for the remainder.
SiO2: 70-75%
K2O: 3.4-5.0%
Al2O3: 13.8-16.9%
Na2O: 2.7-5.0%
P≤0.20%
S≤0.03%
H2O:0.5%
LOI: 1.0
Application:
Albite minerals except as industrial raw materials, consumption accounted for more than 30% in the ceramic industry, also widely used in chemical industry and other industries.
1, glass solvent: feldspar glass is one of the major components of the mixture, feldspar containing high alumina, iron content is low, can reduce the dosage of alkali.And feldspar melt after dissolved into glass slow the process of crystallization capacity is small, can prevent the damage by forming the precipitation in the process of crystal glass products, feldspar can also be used to adjust the viscosity of the glass, generally all kinds of glass mixture with potassium feldspar or sodium feldspar.
2, ceramic blank ingredients: feldspar can before firing up the desert sex role of raw materials, reduce the drying shrinkage and deformation of the body, improve the drying performance, shorten the drying time, when burning can be used as flux filling in the blank, make body density and reduce the gap, it can improve body pervious to light quality.
3, ceramic glaze: make it soft glazed, reduce the melting temperature of the glaze.
4, enamel materials: the main use of feldspar and other minerals raw materials blending, enamel, mortar is usually more than 20-30%.
