Potassium Feldspar

Listing ID #3851747

Feldspar is the most essential material used in ceramics. Feldspar are a group of closely related minerals that make up the earth's crust. These minerals can be grouped into two major categories:

• The plagioclase feldspar
• The alkali feldspar (most of which are potassium feldspar or K-feldspar)

All of them are based on the silica group, a cluster of atoms consisting of silicon and oxygen, which in the feldspar forms rigid three-dimensional interlocking frameworks. It is mostly used as bonding agent along with magnesium oxide, magnesium chloride and other synthetic glue in the manufacture of:

• Abrasives
• Wheels
• Discs and other shapes.
