Grade:HGWD-1250
Product:High Quality Wollastonite Powder(Calcium metasilicate)
Decriptions
Wollastonite has industrial importance worldwide. It is used in
many industries, mostly by tile factories which have incorporated
it into the manufacturing of ceramic to improve many performance
parameters, and this is due to its fluxing properties, freedom from
volatile constituents, whiteness, and acicular particle shape.
In ceramics, wollastonite decreases shrinkage and gas evolution
during firing, increases green and fired strength, maintains
brightness during firing, permits fast firing, and reduces crazing,
cracking, and glaze defects
As a substitute for asbestos in floor tiles, friction products,
insulating board and panels, paint, plastics, and roofing products,
wollastonite is resistant to chemical attack, inert, stable at high
temperatures, and improves flexural and tensile strength. In some
industries, it is used in different percentages of impurities, such
as its use as a fabricator of mineral wool insulation, or as an
ornamental building material.Wollastonite is used in a cement
announced in 2019 which "reduces the overall carbon footprint in
precast concrete by 70%." Wollastonite has been studied for carbon
mineralization for storage of carbon dioxide (CO2) according to the
following reaction.

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.

Wollastonite is used for many different industrial purposes,
including the production of:
Engineering technical plastics
Fluoro elastomer e.g. for oil sealing
heat-resistant refractory ceramics
metallurgy
wood composites
adhesives
filler in paint, paper and other products
friction products such as brake pads
