Product Profile of Industrial Grade Pyrophyllite Lumps
Industrial Grade Pyrophyllite Lumps are harder in form and never fluxes when fired. These Pyrophyllite Lumps are used in high-grade ceramic products, electric insulators and refractories. These Pyrophyllite Lumps also imparts thermal shock resistance to ceramic bodies and also used as filler and dusting powder in various industries. These Industrial Grade Pyrophyllite Lumps is used instead of feldspar as a source of aluminium in glass industry.
Application of the Industrial Grade Pyrophyllite Lumps:
- Used for slate pencils and tailors chalk [French chalk]
- Used for making bricks and insecticides
- Used in high-grade ceramic products, electric insulators and refractories
