Potassium Feldspar
Potash Feldspar is the main vitrifying Agent in ceramic bodies, The majority of white ware bodies contain 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. The amount of flux in a ceramic body should be only in such a proportion as to develop the desired amount of vitrification. If excess of flux is added, the fired body becomes very glassy and consequently, brittle. The glass and ceramic industries are the major consumers of feldspar and account for 95% of the total consumption.

Applications of Feldspar
- Fluxing Agent
- Feldspar is a crucial fluxing agent in the production of ceramics. It lowers the melting temperature of the raw materials, resulting in a glassy phase that binds the ceramic components together, giving them strength, durability, and smoothness.
- Glass Production
- In glassmaking, feldspar is a key ingredient that acts as a fluxing agent, reducing the melting temperature of quartz and helping to control the viscosity of the glass during production. This leads to higher clarity and strength in the finished glass products.
- Paints and Coatings
- Feldspar is used as a filler and extender in paints and coatings, improving durability, weather resistance, and surface appearance. Its fine particle size ensures a smooth, even application.
- Mild Abrasives
- Feldspar is used in the production of mild abrasives, where it provides the necessary hardness to polish and smooth surfaces without causing damage.
Fields Of Usage
- Ceramics and Pottery
- Glass Manufacturing
- Fillers and Extenders
- Abrasives
