Feldspar minerals function as a primary flux in ceramic production. At high temperatures, feldspar melts and binds other components in the ceramic mixture together, thus providing strength and durability to the final product.

Within the ceramic body, feldspar provides the following advantages:

• Lowers firing temperature due to its fluxing properties, saving energy
• Provides mechanical strength to the ceramic body
• Reduces permeability and water absorption of products
• Improves surface quality and gloss

At Straton, we offer various types of feldspar for different ceramic applications. Our products have chemical and physical properties optimized for each specific ceramic application.

Porcelain is a special type of ceramic that is fired at high temperatures and is typically white, translucent, and durable. Feldspar is a crucial component in porcelain production, typically constituting 25-35% of the porcelain mixture.

The main benefits of using feldspar in porcelain:

• Provides a translucent appearance
• Offers high resistance to heat and chemicals
• Creates a smooth and even surface
• Prevents cracking and deformation

Straton's high-quality feldspar products provide premier raw materials to porcelain manufacturers, helping them achieve superior aesthetic and technical properties.

Feldspar is an essential component for ceramic glazes and enamel coatings. Due to its glass-forming property, it melts during firing to create a glossy and smooth coating on ceramic surfaces.

Advantages of using feldspar in glazes:

• Provides melting at lower temperatures
• Creates smoothness and glossiness on the glaze surface
• Supports even distribution of color pigments
• Prevents cracking by regulating the thermal expansion coefficient

At Straton, we offer feldspar products specially formulated for glaze and enamel applications. These products provide superior optical properties and durability.
