Spanish potash feldspar from Imerys's plant at Onda, sold by several French pottery suppliers (Ceradel, Solargil, Céram-Décor). Its chemistry is close to G-200 EU, which Imerys makes at the same plant for the US market.
Oxide analysis and unity formula
Glazecalc has the analysis of Feldspath potassique ICE 10 (Imerys Spain) as weight percent of the raw material. The unity contribution is the moles of each oxide in the amount of Feldspath potassique ICE 10 (Imerys Spain) that holds 1.0 mole of flux, which is how Glazecalc adds it into a recipe's unity formula.
| Oxide | Weight % | Unity contribution |
|---|---|---|
| SiO₂ | 69.32 | 7.429 |
| Al₂O₃ | 16.62 | 1.050 |
| CaO | 0.36 | 0.041 |
| TiO₂ | 0.04 | 0.003 |
| Fe₂O₃ | 0.11 | 0.004 |
| Na₂O | 1.99 | 0.207 |
| K₂O | 10.93 | 0.747 |
| MgO | 0.03 | 0.005 |
- Equivalent weight
- 643.88
- Fired weight
- 640.02
- Loss on ignition
- 0.6%
The equivalent weight is the grams of Feldspath potassique ICE 10 (Imerys Spain) that hold 1.0 mole of flux. The fired weight is what is left of that after firing.
Hazards and safety
Hazards: Imerys's safety data sheet (2013) does not classify it and gives less than 1% respirable quartz; avoid breathing the dust.
