Wollastonite

Wollastonite is a natural mineral with many unique properties. Wollastonite is an industrial mineral that is a combination of silicon, calcium and oxygen. Its molecular formula is CaSiO3 which is about 48% CaO and 51% SiO2. Wollastonite in its natural form can also contain various amounts of metal ionic isotopes such as aluminum, iron, potassium, magnesium and sodium Wollastonite is used in the Ceramics / Glass industry: in Enamel / bone mixes, Frits, porcelain toilet. Wollastonite provides CaO content that makes up an alkaline yeast formula to improve the chemical resistance of the yeast. Wollastonite is an additive that reduces the melting temperature, increases the gloss, reduces the enamel cracking, especially during the enameling and cooling process. . Wollastonite increases the performance of many products including plastics, paints and coatings, building materials, friction and metallurgical applications
