Cordierite Powder Description
Cordierite Powder is a finely ground material made from cordierite, a ceramic mineral composed primarily of magnesium iron aluminum cyclosilicate. Cordierite (2MgO·2Al2O3·5SiO2) is known for its low thermal expansion, excellent thermal shock resistance, and good mechanical strength, making it a valuable material in various high-temperature applications.

Cordierite Powder Applications
- Ceramic and Kiln Furniture: Cordierite Powder is extensively used in the production of kiln furniture, such as shelves, supports, and other structures that hold ceramic products during firing, thanks to its ability to withstand high temperatures and resist thermal shock.
- Automotive Catalytic Converters: In the automotive industry, cordierite is used to manufacture the honeycomb substrate in catalytic converters, where it supports the catalyst material and endures the high temperatures of exhaust gases.
- Refractory Components: Cordierite Powder is utilized in making various refractory components, such as insulators, combustion chambers, and furnace linings, due to its excellent heat resistance and thermal stability.
- Electronics: Its low thermal expansion and good electrical insulation properties make cordierite useful in electronic components, such as substrates and insulators.
- Cooking and Baking: Cordierite is also used in baking stones and other cookware, where its ability to evenly distribute heat and resist thermal shock is highly valued.
