Quartz use in Ceramic Industries

In the ceramics industry, quartz is utilized to increase body rigidity and lessen shrinkage during drying and firing. Iron is the most harmful element, thus it should be as little of it as possible. If Fe2O3 is present at more than 0.1%, dots will develop on the ceramic body and current will pass through an electrical insulator. The majority of the nation's largest ceramic factories use high-silica quartz with little iron. Silica should typically range from 97 to 99.9%. Al2O3: 0.1%-2%, Fe2O3: 0.05%-1%.
