Sodium Feldspar

Sodium Feldspar , also known as soda feldspar or albite, is a member the feldspar mineral group that contains a high percentage of sodium. Sodium feldspar powder is a feldspar product with a high concentration of sodium oxide (Na2O), typically sourced from sodium- rich minerals like albite and oligoclase. This powder is commonly used in the ceramics industry , particularly for  producing Porcelain and sanitary ware. Its aids in reducing the melting point of ceramics material improving their plasticity, and enhancing the quality of glazes. Additionally, soda feldspar powder is also employed in the production of glass, enamel, and other materials that requires a high alkali content. Sodium feldspar is more commonly used in the glass industry, while potassium feldspar is favored in ceramics and glazes due to its higher melting point.      

The primary forms in which soda feldspar is supplied include.

Ø  Lumps/ chunks

Ø  Powder

Ø  Granules
