Grade:HGWD-1250
Product:High Quality Wollastonite Powder(Calcium metasilicate)
Decriptions
Wollastonite is an inorganic needle-like mineral, and wollastonite
products have very noticeable acicular and long fiber structures
.It is characterized by non-toxicity, chemical corrosion
resistance, good thermal stability and dimensional stability, glass
and pearl luster, low water absorption and oil absorption value,
excellent mechanical and electrical properties,even reinforcing
effect. Wollastonite products with long fibers and easy separation,
low iron content and high whiteness.
Wollatonite is Widely used in plastics, rubber, asbestos
substitutes, paint coatings and other fields, it can increase the
hardness, flexural strength, impact resistance of products, improve
the electrical properties of materials, improve thermal stability
and dimensional stability, and is the most promising application
field. It is also used in the ceramics and metallurgical
industries. The SiO2 and CaO components in wollastonite provide low
expansion rate and good thermal shock resistance.
Natural wollastonite however, may contain trace or minor amounts of
various metal ions such as aluminum, iron, magnesium, manganese,
potassium and sodium. Any of these ions may partially substitute
for calcium if they are present. Wollastonite is rarely found by
itself, and ore zones in the major deposits contain 20-98%
wollastonite. Associated minerals are most often calcite, garnet,
and diopside.
