Feldspathic Glassy Phase Promoter
MATRIX®
MATRIX feldspathic glassy phase promoters are produced from nepheline syenite, a naturally occurring sodium potassium alumina silicate. The higher total contribution of alumina, alkalis and silicates combined with the lowest possible levels of impurities, makes MATRIX an efficient and cost-effective means of lowering the melting temperature of the glass batch.
The lower-melting eutectic of nepheline syenite allows batch engineers to lower the temperature at which liquid forms during firing or to increase the rate of pull, with confidence in a thorough and complete reaction with other components.
Product Highlight
In addition to its operating advantages, MATRIX will stabilize and strengthen container and flat glass and produce clearer glass without additives or decolorizers in applications where color control is critical. All MATRIX is produced with consistently uniform chemistries, size distributions, and top size controls for optimal performance in the glass furnace. For manufacturers seeking to improve furnace efficiency and batch performance, MATRIX provides a feldspathic solution that enhances melt behavior and glass properties.
