Feldspar is a widely used mineral that is supplied by our company and contains potassium oxide in the range of 8% - 12%. It is a group of rock-forming minerals that make up about 60% of the Earth's crust. It is found in various colors such as white, pink. It is used in the manufacturing of ceramics, glass, and as a filler in paints, plastics, and rubber products. The mineral is also used as a flux in the production of steel and aluminium. With its versatility and abundance, it is recognised as a valuable resource in the industrial sector.
A. Sodium Feldspar:
Sodium feldspar is a common type of feldspar mineral that is widely used in ceramics, glassmaking, and as a filler in various products. It is primarily composed of sodium, aluminium, and silicon, and has a relatively low melting point. Sodium feldspar is also known as albite or soda feldspar.
