The whiteness difference is visible to the naked eye. Imagine what it does to your fired product under your customer's light.

And we understand why. Higher NaโO means:
โ More aggressive early melt
โ Lower viscosity glass phase
โ Faster vitrification onset
For some applications โ certain frit formulations, fast-fire tile bodies, specific glaze systems โ that is exactly right.

NaโO has a higher thermal expansion coefficient than KโO. When NaโO dominates, the glassy phase runs hotter and more aggressively โ but it also runs ๐ฐ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐บ๐ถ๐ฒ๐ฟ.
Sodium-rich feldspars consistently fire to a slightly warmer, less brilliant white. Potassium-rich feldspars produce a cooler, brighter, more neutral white โ which is why K-feldspar is preferred in sanitaryware, porcelain tableware, and high-whiteness tile bodies.

We don't just take the order.
When a customer tells us they need high NaโO feldspar, our first question is: ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐๐ผ๐ ๐๐ฟ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐๐ผ ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ต๐ถ๐ฒ๐๐ฒ ๐ถ๐ป ๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐ณ๐ถ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ฑ๐๐ฐ๐?
We understand:
โ
Your firing temperature and kiln type
โ
Your target whiteness index and product category
โ
Whether you need melt aggressiveness or melt control
โ
Your KโO/NaโO balance requirement relative to your body recipe
And then we offer you the feldspar that will actually perform โ not just the one that matches your spec sheet headline.
๐ฉ DM us or reach out directly.
We supply XRF-verified feldspar โ potassium, sodium, and blended grades โ with CoA on every shipment to ceramic and sanitaryware manufacturers across Vietnam, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Turkey, and the GCC.
