iOTA Quartz for Ceramics industry
Huge quantities of quartz powder are used in ceramic bodies and glazes. In bodies the quartz particles most often remain unchanged in the fired matrix, behaving as an embedded aggregate. They act as a "skeleton" in porcelain bodies. They raise the thermal expansion and make it easier to fit glazes.
​
Ceramic materials based on quartz glass; They are notable for their good chemical and thermal stability. The main feature distinguishing quartz ceramics from quartz glass is their porosity, which causes lower heat conduction, as well as lower mechanical strength and density.
​
Quartz is used in ceramic industry to reduce shrinkage in drying and firing and to impart rigidity to the body. Iron is most deleterious constitute and it should be as less as possible if Fe2O3 is more than 0.1% dot will form on the ceramic body and in the case of electrical insulator current mat pass. Most of the major ceramic units in the country consume high silica quartz with low iron content.
In general silica should be 97 - 99.9%
Fe2O3: 0.05% to 1%,
Al2O3: 0.1% - 2%
​
