Feldspar

 

Feldspar is the most abundant group of minerals in the Earth’s crust. Their use in industrial applications is widespread. In fact, feldspar can be found in a great many objects we use on a daily basis! Most deposits offer sodium feldspar as well as potassium feldspar and mixed feldspars. Feldspars are primarily used in industrial applications for their alumina and alkali content.

​

Any of a group of aluminosilicates (containing aluminium and silicon) minerals that also contains calcium, sodium, or potassium. Feldspars are the most common minerals in the Earth’s crust and are the major component in nearly all igneous rocks found on the Earth, on the Moon, and in some meteorites. They also are common in metamorphic and some sedimentary rocks. Their complex chemical and structural properties make them useful for interpreting the origins of rocks. Natural feldspars can be divided into alkali and plagioclase feldspars.

These alkali feldspars, especially alkali feldspars of potassium origin are of particular to industries because of its wide range of applications. They play pivotal roles in the production of fillers in the paint, rubber, adhesive and plastic industries. They are also used as fluxing agents in glass and ceramic applications. Additionally, feldspar controls the degree of vitrification of the ceramic body during firing. Porcelain: Feldspar, along with kaolin and quartz (as a form of silica) are the primary components in modern porcelain ceramics.

Physical properties

·     High alumina and alkali content

·     High potassium content

·     Low iron content

·     Chemical inertness

·     pH stable

·     Consistent hardness (6-6.5 on Mohs scale)

 

With in-depth knowledge of how feldspar interacts in our customers’ end products, we will continue to harness our minerals to help customers improve performance, reduce costs and minimize their carbon footprint.

Iota Meta flux is leading supplier for Feldspar and quartz minerals used in ceramics industry, glass industry, paint and coating and construction industry.

  Cool Roof Coating Cool roof coatings are white or special reflective pigments that reflect sunlight. They are like very thick paints that can protect the roof surface from ultra-violet (UV) light and chemical damage, and some offer water protection and restorative features. Cool roof coatings deliver higher solar reflectance and higher thermal emittance than standard designed roofing coats. Standard or dark roofs can reach temperatures of 150°F or more in the summer sun. A roof with a cool coating under the same conditions could stay 30-40 percent cooler and save energy and money. Highly reflective and anti-fungal by nature, the coating is easy to clean and offers excellent value for money. It is easy to apply via brush or rollers and offers excellent water resistance and superior crack bridging. LuminX® is a water-based acrylic cross-linked elastomeric Cool roof coating. Its innovative advanced nanotechnology-based formulation offers high solar reflectivity and thermal emittance

                                                              Quartz Quartz is the second most abundant mineral in  Earth’s  crust after  feldspar . It occurs in nearly all acid igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks. It is an essential mineral in such silica-rich felsic rocks as granites, granodiorites, and rhyolites. It is highly resistant to  weathering  and tends to concentrate in sandstones and other detrital rocks. Quartz is: - ·         the most abundant mineral in Earth's crust ·         extremely resistant to weathering ·         highly resistant to physical and chemical weathering ·         Used to make timepieces because it vibrates at a precise frequency. Quartz is the widely distributed mineral found at Earth's surface. It is present and plentiful in all parts of the world. It forms at all temperatures.  It is highly resistant to both mechanical and chemical weathering. Large amounts of quartz  sand  (also known as silica sand) are used in the m
