Description:

Albite powder is a kind of feldspar, triclinic glassy crystal, generally colorless, white, yellow, red or black.

Albite powder is a framework silicate structure, with a specific gravity of 2.62 and a Mohs hardness of 6 - 6.5, and the content of anorthite is less than 10%. Albite is a sodium mineral of the plagioclase solid solution series, most common in pegmatites and granites.

Albite powder is a raw material for the manufacture of glass and ceramics. Many rocks have a composition of albite, which is called a rock-forming mineral. Albite powder is mainly used in the manufacture of ceramics, soaps, ceramic tiles, floor tiles, glass, abrasives, etc., and is mainly used for glazes on ceramics.
