Potassium cryolite gray and white difference

Potassium cryolite gray and white difference

Potassium cryolite, English name: Potassium cryolite, characteristics: white or light gray powder, slightly dissolved in water. Relative density 2.9-3.0, melting point 1000 use: used as aluminum, aluminum alloy, stainless steel soldering agent, aluminum alloy manufacturing process degassing agent, flux, also used as the active filler of glass, ceramics, friction agent.

Special composition and chemical structure of potassium cryolite, it is neutral, pH is about 7, can effectively play its role in grinding and abrasive, improve the grinding speed of the grinding wheel, improve the working speed of the grinding wheel. The price of potassium cryolite is higher than that of traditional cryolite, which is its disadvantage. However, potassium cryolite, the by-product of aluminum titanium boron grain refiner, not only has the same quality as potassium cryolite, but also has a strong price advantage and market competitiveness. The application of potassium cryolite in grinding wheel industry in China is still in its infancy. Potassium cryolite has a huge potential market not only in China but also in developing countries.

The difference between the gray and white of potassium cryolite is actually the difference of a color. The gray potassium cryolite and the white potassium ice sheet material are exactly the same, but the gray potassium cryolite raw material is gray, and the white potassium cryolite raw material is white. However, the price of gray is lower than that of white, because the production of white has to control the entry of any gray raw materials, so the cost is relatively increased.

Gray potassium cryolite is mainly used for aluminum alloy additives and fluxes because it does not affect the use, and it is cheaper than white. White is generally used in grinding wheels, soldering flux and other relatively high-end industries. This is the difference between potassium cryolite gray and white.
