Report Description
Nepheline Syenite is a type of igneous rock which is formed out of
molten magma in the absence of silica. It is similar to granite and
constitutes three types of minerals which are the microcline form of
feldspar, the albite form of feldspar and nepheline. Their percentage
varies - microline constitutes 24.2%, nepheline 21.8% and albite 54%
respectively.
Owing to the increase in demand from major markets such as filters,
glass, adhesives and ceramics, the feldspar and nepheline syenite market is
estimated to reach 14.1 million tons in 2017. The feldspar market leaders
in 2011 - Italy and Turkey produced a noticeable 10.3 million tons.
Feldspar reserves are prominently found in the Czech Republic, Poland,
Portugal and in the Indian regions.
Compliance with hygiene standards practiced in industries and
environmental regulations are some of the important characteristics of
these compounds which are fuelling its market. This compliance helps the
feldspar and nepheline market to acquire strong support from the government
as well.
The EPA continuously hampers the coating industry market by amending
new policies, which have eased off through the advent of feldspar and
nepheline syenite. The refractive index of nepheline syenite is low and it
can be used as alternatives to other clear binders such as epoxies,
polyurethanes, nitrocellulose and alkyds.
Nepheline syenite has zero volatile organic compounds, thereby
complying with environmental regulations. Thus nepheline syenite is
recommended in the production of solid and powder coating uses.
Major players include Unimin Corp. which is the largest producer of
nepheline syenite, Gimpex Ltd., Gruppo Minerali Maffei SPA, The
Feldspar Corp.,I – Minerals Inc., Eczacibasi Esan, Incusa Industrias
