Nepheline Syenite

Mineral: Nepheline Syenite 

 

Nepheline syenite can be characterised by:

• High purity
• Absence of free crystalline silica (free of labelling)
• Brightness
• Relatively low refractive index, making it a transparent filler in various binders
• High inertness in various media
• Easy wetting
• Transparency for UV-radiation (i.e. suitable for UV-curing processes)
