Rajasthan-sourced Feldspar in three grades — Standard (blended), Soda Feldspar (Na₂O-rich), and Potash Feldspar (K₂O-rich) — for glass manufacturing, ceramics, sanitaryware, and tile industries worldwide.
Rajasthan is one of India's largest producers of Feldspar, with extensive deposits supplying the glass, ceramics, tiles, and sanitaryware industries both domestically and globally. GeoCore Minerals offers Feldspar in three forms — a standard blended grade, Soda Feldspar, and Potash Feldspar — allowing buyers to select the flux profile best suited to their manufacturing process.
Feldspar is a flux — it lowers the melting temperature of ceramic or glass batches. But the type of flux oxide (Na₂O vs K₂O) determines which grade suits your specific application.
Rich in sodium oxide — Na₂O acts as a strong flux that significantly lowers the melting temperature of the glass or ceramic batch. Preferred where fluidity and clarity are critical, especially in glass manufacturing. Soda Feldspar also improves chemical durability of the final glass product.
Rich in potassium oxide — K₂O produces a higher viscosity melt compared to Na₂O, which gives ceramic bodies better workability and produces a smoother, glossier glaze finish. Preferred for sanitaryware, high-quality floor tiles, and porcelain where glaze quality is paramount.
A blended product combining both Na₂O and K₂O flux content — offered as a cost-effective, versatile option for buyers whose processes do not require a strictly soda- or potash-dominant composition. Widely used as a general-purpose flux in ceramics, glass, and tile manufacturing.
GeoCore Minerals' standard Feldspar is a blended-grade product combining both soda (Na₂O) and potash (K₂O) flux content, offered as a versatile, cost-effective option for buyers whose processes don't require a strictly soda- or potash-dominant composition. It is widely used as a flux in ceramics, glass, and tile manufacturing to lower melting temperatures and improve product strength.

Soda Feldspar is rich in sodium oxide (Na₂O), making it especially suited for glass manufacturing, where it lowers melting temperature while improving the chemical durability and clarity of the final product. GeoCore Minerals sources Soda Feldspar processed to consistent purity and low iron content for buyers requiring tighter flux specifications. The lower K₂O content (<2%) ensures a clean sodium flux profile without potassium interference.
| SiO₂ | 66% – 70% |
| Al₂O₃ | 18% – 20% |
| Na₂O | 8% – 10.5% |
| K₂O | <2% |
| Fe₂O₃ (Iron Oxide) | 0.05% – 0.2% |
| Moisture | 0.5% – 1.5% |
| Form | Lumps / Powder |
| Mesh Size | -200 mesh (or as per requirement) |
Potash Feldspar is rich in potassium oxide (K₂O), prized in ceramics, sanitaryware, and tile manufacturing for the smoother glaze finish and improved thermal stability it imparts during firing. The higher viscosity of the K₂O melt compared to Na₂O produces a more controlled firing behaviour and a superior surface finish — making Potash Feldspar the preferred grade for premium ceramic producers worldwide.
| SiO₂ | 64% – 68% |
| Al₂O₃ | 17% – 19% |
| K₂O | 8% – 11% |
| Na₂O | <2.5% |
| Fe₂O₃ (Iron Oxide) | 0.05% – 0.25% |
| Moisture | 0.5% – 1.5% |
| Form | Lumps / Powder |
| Mesh Size | -200 mesh (or as per requirement) |
Compare Na₂O, K₂O, SiO₂, and Al₂O₃ across all Feldspar grades to choose the right one for your process.
