Feldspar, Quartz & Kaolin
Exports to Vietnam
The complete buyer's guide for Vietnam's ceramic tile, sanitaryware, porcelain, glass, paint and technical ceramic industries — covering sourcing, specifications, pricing dynamics, port logistics, and why Rajasthan, India is Vietnam's most competitive and best-quality mineral origin.
Why Vietnam Is One of the World's Most Dynamic Mineral Import Markets — and Why India Is Its Best Source
Vietnam's ceramics and construction materials sector has undergone a structural transformation over the past decade that places it among the most significant mineral-consuming economies in all of Southeast Asia. With annual ceramic tile production capacity now exceeding 900 million m² — ranking Vietnam among the world's top five tile producers — and ongoing expansion projects adding capacity in Bình Dương, Đồng Nai, Long An, and Hải Dương provinces, the country's demand for high-purity feldspar, quartz powder, and kaolin from India has grown from a niche trade flow to a mainstream industrial minerals corridor.
For procurement managers, production engineers, and raw material buyers at Vietnamese ceramic manufacturers, the sourcing question is no longer whether to import from India — it is which Indian supplier offers the most consistent quality, the most reliable documentation, and the most competitive total landed cost to Vietnamese ports.
This guide answers that question comprehensively — and positions Aalok Overseas India as the most technically capable and commercially reliable partner for mineral supply from Rajasthan, India to Vietnam's industrial base.
Four Core Industrial Minerals — Exported from India to Vietnam
Complete XRF-Verified Chemical Specifications — Vietnam Export Grades
All minerals below are from fixed, dedicated mine sources in Rajasthan, India. Every commercial shipment is accompanied by an XRF-verified Certificate of Analysis from an accredited third-party laboratory — verified lot-by-lot, not a generic "typical analysis."

★ Fe₂O₃ is the single most critical variable for white/light ceramic products. Our grades consistently achieve best-in-class iron oxide levels verified by independent XRF analysis.
Vietnamese Industries That Import Feldspar, Quartz and Kaolin from India
Vietnam's largest mineral-consuming ceramic segment. White-body tiles require Potash Feldspar (K₂O ≥10%, Fe₂O₃ ≤0.10%) and Quartz Powder as primary raw materials. Leading producers: Viglacera, Đồng Tâm, Prime Group, Cotto Vietnam, Ceremic Thăng Long. Key production zones: Bình Dương, Đồng Nai, Hải Dương.
Vitreous china sanitaryware requires ultra-low Fe₂O₃ feldspar (<0.08%) for CIE L* >92 white standard compliance. Growing segment supplying hotel, hospital, and residential construction markets. Key producers: INAX Vietnam, American Standard Vietnam, Viglacera Sanitaryware, Thiên Thanh Ceramics.
Vietnam is a rapidly growing producer of engineered quartz surfaces for domestic construction and export. Requires Snow White Quartz Powder with 98+ GE whiteness and Fe₂O₃ <0.01%. Leading producer: Vicostone (Hà Nội) — one of Southeast Asia's largest engineered stone manufacturers and a global export brand.
Ceramic glaze and frit manufacturing requires high-alkali, low-iron feldspar as the primary glass-former. Soda Feldspar (Na₂O ≥7%) is preferred for faster-melting glaze batches; Potash Feldspar for premium matt and opaque glazes. Glaze producers supply Vietnam's tile industry and export to ASEAN markets.
Flat glass, container glass, and fibreglass producers use high-purity Quartz (SiO₂ ≥99.5%) and Feldspar as glass batch components. Vietnam's glass sector is growing rapidly with new float glass plants in Bình Dương and Hưng Yên. Key producers: Việt Đức Glass, AGC Vietnam, Mekong Glass.
High-brightness Quartz Powder (whiteness 95+ GE) and Kaolin are used as functional fillers in decorative and industrial paints, rubber compounds, and plastic masterbatch. Vietnam's paint market is one of Southeast Asia's fastest-growing. Key consumers: Kova Paint, Jotun Vietnam, AkzoNobel Vietnam, TOA Vietnam.
Kaolin (China Clay) is a primary filler and coating pigment in paper manufacturing, improving brightness, printability, and smoothness. Water-washed kaolin grade with brightness ≥85 ISO and Fe₂O₃ <0.3% is the standard specification for coated paper applications. Vietnam's paper industry is a significant kaolin consumer.
High-voltage electrical insulators and technical ceramic components require precisely controlled feldspar chemistry with minimal Fe₂O₃ and TiO₂ for consistent dielectric properties and dimensional stability. Growing segment serving Vietnam's infrastructure and industrial electrification expansion.
