Cordierite Powder (2MgO·2Al2O3·5SiO2)
Cordierite powder supplied in technical grade, micron particle sizes, in irregular / granular form. Used for low-expansion refractories, kiln furniture and substrates. Small quantities, prototypes and custom made-to-order specifications are welcome.
Cordierite Powder — Grades & Specifications
Cordierite (2MgO·2Al2O3·5SiO2) is a magnesium-aluminium-silicate mineral phase valued for its very low thermal expansion. As a mixed-oxide phase it does not carry a single standardized purity ladder or CAS number; composition and grade are confirmed per formulation. The options below are typical; specify your target values in the request form and we will confirm availability, lead time and pricing.
