In 2022, the global ceramics market reached a value of USD 239.53 billion, projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.2% from 2023 to 2030. The market is anticipated to be primarily driven by the expansion of the building and construction industry, which extensively utilizes ceramics in various applications such as tiles, sanitary ware, and bricks. Moreover, evolving indoor home décor trends worldwide are influencing the utilization of ceramics in building and construction activities.
How is ASR adding value to the Ceramics Industry?
Quartz:
Quartz, renowned for its hardness, durability, and thermal stability, is extensively used in the ceramics industry. It serves as a key raw material in the formulation of ceramic bodies, providing strength, resilience, and dimensional stability to ceramic products. Quartz enhances the mechanical properties of ceramics, including abrasion resistance, compression strength, and thermal shock resistance, making it suitable for applications such as tiles, sanitary ware, tableware, and refractory materials. Additionally, Quartz contributes to the aesthetic appeal of ceramics by imparting translucency, color stability, and surface finish.
Soda Feldspar:
Soda Feldspar, also known as sodium feldspar, is a vital component in ceramic formulations due to its fluxing properties and ability to enhance the melting behavior of ceramic materials. It promotes the fusion of other raw materials during the firing process, facilitating densification and vitrification of ceramic bodies. Soda Feldspar improves the workability and plasticity of ceramic clays, enabling the shaping and forming of ceramic products through extrusion, molding, and casting techniques. In the ceramics industry, Soda Feldspar is commonly used in the production of glazes, engobes, and ceramic bodies for wall tiles, floor tiles, porcelain, and stoneware.
Potash Feldspar:
Potash Feldspar, or potassium feldspar, is widely utilized in the ceramics industry for its fluxing properties and role as a primary flux in ceramic formulations. It lowers the melting temperature of ceramic materials, promoting the sintering and vitrification processes during firing. Potash Feldspar enhances the chemical stability, mechanical strength, and thermal expansion properties of ceramics, ensuring dimensional stability and resistance to thermal shock. In ceramic applications, Potash Feldspar is used in the production of glazes, frits, and ceramic bodies for tiles, sanitary ware, dinnerware, and decorative ceramics.
