Information on Wollastonite:-

Wollastonite is a natural mineral that is formed through the metamorphic reaction of silica and limestone. This creates a calcium silicate with many properties that are useful in raw materials in modern industry.

In ceramics, it can reduce kiln temperatures, reduce cycle time, improve gloss and strength, whilst reducing defects in the final product bodies. In paints and ceramics , modified acicular wollastonite is used as a cost effective functional filler for items such as marine coatings. These coatings have a superior mechanical strength, durability, adhesion and corrosion resistance. In the world of metallurgy, wollastonite is a key raw material in manufacturing fluxes and castings.

Additionally, this mineral can be used as a filler in plastics to improve impact strength, stiffness and dimensional stability. Other industries served, include construction, automotive and as an asbestos replacement.
