Feldspar
Feldspar, a common mineral found in the Earth's crust, is a key player in the ceramic industry.
Feldspar, a versatile mineral widely used in ceramic industries, plays a crucial role in enhancing the technical properties of ceramics. Its unique chemical composition contributes to the strength and durability of ceramic products such as tiles, sanitary ware, tableware, and technical ceramics.
In the production process of ceramics, feldspar is utilized as a fluxing agent to lower the melting temperature of raw materials. This ensures proper vitrification and helps create a dense and non-porous structure in finished ceramic products.
Additionally, feldspar acts as a filler material that aids in reducing shrinkage during firing processes. It also improves the thermal shock resistance of ceramics by promoting even heat distribution throughout the material.
Feldspars of importance to ceramics are aluminosilicates of sodium, potassium, and calcium. They are used as fluxes to form a glassy phase in bodies, thus promoting vitrification and translucency. They also serve as a source of alkalis and alumina in glazes. The pure spars are albite (NaAlSi3O8), orthoclase or microcline (KAlSi3O8) and anorthite (CaAl2Si2O8). The soda spars are used in glasses and glazes, and the high potash spars in Ceramic bodies. Potassium feldspars (KAlSi3O8) enable the broadest firing range and the best stability of the body against deformation during firing. Sodium feldspar (NaAlSi3O8) exhibits a lower viscosity than potassium feldspar when melted at a given temperature.
