Feldspar KAlSi3O8
Solar Mines and Minerals is a producer and supplier of best quality Feldspar (KAlSi3O8). We process and package our Feldspar keeping in mind international quality standards and is offered at a very affordable price to our clients in India and abroad which makes us one of the best suppliers of Feldspar in the industry. Solar owns several Feldspar mines in south India and can get into long term material supply contracts with customers. we use the latest technology and our Feldspar is free from all kinds of impurities.
Most of the products we use on a daily basis are made with feldspar: glass for drinking, glass for protection, fiberglass for insulation, the floor tiles and shower basins in our bathrooms, and the tableware from which we eat. Feldspar is part of our daily life. For the convenience for our customers, we supply Feldspar in the form LUMPS with various particle size and POWDER in different mesh size ranging from 2-300.
Industrial Application of our Feldspar KAlSi3O8Ceramics:
In the manufacture of ceramics, feldspar is the second most important ingredient after clay. Feldspar does not have a strict melting point, since it melts gradually over a range of temperatures.
This greatly facilitates the melting of quartz and clays and, through appropriate mixing, allows modulations of this important step of ceramic making. Feldspars are used as fluxing agents to form a glassy phase at low temperatures and as a source of alkalies and alumina in glazes. They improve the strength, toughness, and durability of the ceramic body, and cement the crystalline phase of other ingredients, softening, melting and wetting other batch constituents.
Glass:
Feldspar is an important ingredient in the manufacture of glass and an important raw material as well, because it acts as a fluxing agent, reducing the melting temperature of quartz and helping to control the viscosity of glass. The alkali content in feldspar acts as flux, lowering the glass batch melting temperature and thus reducing production costs.

Fillers:
Feldspars also are used as fillers and extenders in applications such as paints, plastics and rubber. Beneficial properties of feldspars include good dispersability, high chemical inertness, stable pH, high resistance to abrasion, low viscosity at high filler loading, interesting refractive index and resistance to frosting. The products used in such applications are generally fine-milled grades.
Enamel frits and glazes:
Feldspar assists the enamel composition, assuring the absence of defects and the neatness of the end product: e.g. enamel frits, ceramic glazes, ceramic tile glazes, sanitaryware, tableware, electrical porcelain and giftware.
And many other end-uses:
Paint, mild abrasives, urethane, welding electrodes (production of steel), latex foam, the welding of rod coating, and road aggregate. In the flooring sector, feldspar is the main constituent in the body composition. It is used as a flux, lowering the vitrifying temperature of a ceramic body during firing and forming a glassy phase. Surface tension pull the remaining solid particles together, giving a densification of the ceramic body. With rising temperatures, the alkalis become more active and first dissolve the clay particles and then the free silica. In tableware, feldspar gives a good fusibility for a product without defects. In sanitaryware, the use of feldspar within vitreous ceramic bodies is used to facilitate the optimization process.
Abrasive:
Bonding Agent
Welding
Feldspar are used in coatings of welding electrode for their fluxing properties, particularly for coating electrodes used in the manual arc process, which is popular for welding ferrous alloys in structural steelwork, shipbuilding, general fabrication industries, and hard-facing. Feldspar’s fluxing properties act as an arc stabilizer and weld pol protector.
