Talk About the Three Major Types of Floor Tiles

Activated Carbon

Activated carbon (also called activated charcoal, activated coal or active carbon) is a very useful adsorbent. Due to their high surface area, pore structure (micro, meso and macro), and high degree of surface reactivity, activated carbon can be used to purify, dechlorinate, deodorize and decolorize both liquid and vapor applications.

Feldspar

Group of minerals that includes potassium, sodium, and calcium aluminium silicates. It is used in a variety of industries, including ceramics, glass, and construction.In the ceramics industry, feldspar is used as a flux, which helps to reduce the melting point of the raw materials used in ceramic production.

Bentonite

Type of clay that is primarily composed of the mineral montmorillonite used in drilling fluids, foundry sand, and as a binder in iron ore pelletizing. Bentonite is used as a natural sealant for earthen structures, such as dams, canals, and ponds. Bentonite is added to animal feed to improve the digestion and absorption of nutrients.

Potash

The most widely recognized potash use is within the agricultural industry. A large portion of potash is used to create fertilizer. Due to the substances’ high levels of plant nutrients that help crops with things like root strength and disease resistance using potash within fertilizer is a must. Potash uses span from agricultural to industrial chemicals.

Quartz

Composed of silicon and oxygen atoms. It is used in the production of glass, ceramics, and electronics. Quartz is a key component in the production of glass, as it provides the transparency and hardness required for glass to be used in windows, lenses, and mirrors. It is also used in the production of silicon chips, solar panels, and other electronic devices.

Diatomite

Also known as diatomaceous earth, it is a naturally occurring sedimentary rock that is composed of the fossilized remains of diatoms, which are tiny aquatic organisms. It is used as a filter aid, in insulation, and as a soil amendment. Diatomite is commonly used as a filtration medium due to its high porosity and low density.

Silica Sand

Silica sand is an essential material used in various industries, from construction to manufacturing. Its unique properties make it a versatile commodity, and it is available in different grades to suit different applications. The use of silica sand in different sectors is gaining momentum, and its demand is on the rise.
