Global feldspar market valued at USD 800+ million, growing at ~5–6% CAGR. India is the world's largest feldspar exporter — 30–35% of global trade. Rajasthan produces 2.5+ million MT/year. India's ceramic tile sector alone consumes 10–12 million MT of feldspar + quartz annually, making it the world's second largest tile producer at 1.3 billion m²/year.

Choose Sodium Feldspar (Na₂O 9–11%) for floor tiles, wall tiles, sanitaryware, glazes, container glass — lower fusion temperature, more fluid glass phase, higher whiteness. Choose Potassium Feldspar (K₂O 10–12%) for electrical porcelain, bone china, high-tension insulators. Aalok Overseas supplies both. Ask us for a grade recommendation based on your firing temperature and product spec.

Q: What is Sodium Feldspar and why is it used in ceramics?

Sodium Feldspar (Albite, NaAlSi₃O₈) is used in ceramics as a flux — it lowers the vitrification temperature to 1100–1120°C, forms a viscous glass phase that binds ceramic particles, reduces porosity, and improves mechanical strength. Loading is typically 20–40% of total body weight in tile and sanitaryware formulations. Its high Al₂O₃ (19–21%) strengthens the sintered ceramic microstructure.

Q: Difference between Sodium Feldspar and Potassium Feldspar?

Sodium Feldspar (Na₂O 9–11%) melts at 1100–1120°C — more fluid glass phase — best for floor/wall tiles, sanitaryware, glass, and glazes. Potassium Feldspar (K₂O 10–12%) melts at 1150–1170°C — more viscous — preferred for electrical porcelain and bone china. Most ceramic body formulations use a blend of both. Aalok Overseas supplies both with XRF-verified CoA.

Q: Which mesh size should I use for my application?

80–100 mesh — floor tile body, stoneware. 200 mesh — wall tiles, sanitaryware casting slip. 325 mesh — ceramic glazes, engobes, vitrified tile surfaces. 500 mesh — paint filler, rubber compounds. Lumps/chips — glass plant batch. Contact our technical team with your firing temperature and product spec for a free recommendation.
