Steatite Powder Supplier in India

Composed essentially of the mineral massive talc with less than 1.5% each of CaO and Fe2O3 and less than 4% Al2O3. Steatite is naturally occurring and also called soapstone and French chalk. Steatite is designated to indicate a purer variety of compact and massive talc while the use of the word soapstone is restricted to a slightly impure variety of steatite containing 50 to 80% talc. Vasundhara Microns is the leading Steatite Powder supplier in India. Steatite is used primarily for its dielectric and thermal insulating properties in applications such as tile, substrates, washers, bushings, beads, and pigments. It is also used for high-voltage insulators, which have to stand large mechanical loads.

Steatite is the softest known mineral and listed as 1 on the Mohs hardness scale. It is already used in the paint industry, particularly in marine paints and protective coatings. This is used in ceramics due to its high resistivity, very low dielectric loss factor, and good mechanical strength. The addition of steatite powder increases the viscosity and mechanical properties of feedstock. The thermal properties of steatite are also good. It comes in brilliant white and off-color and is odorless. The value of steatite lies in its extreme softness, smoothness, slippery & lubricating properties, high luster & sheen, chemical inertness, high fusion point, low heat, electrical conductivity and as a pigment extender. It has been used in a no. of applications such as heating element holders, stand-off insulators, washers, bushings, ceramics and more.
