Cordierite Powder is made from talc mixed with clay and aluminum oxide. There are no known large deposits of natural cordierite. It has a low coefficient of thermal expansion, high mechanical strength, low density, and low dielectric loss.

Cordierite Powder Specifications

Cordierite Powder Classification

Cordierite Powder TSCA (SARA Title III) Status

Cordierite Powder Typical Applications

Cordierite Powder is used to manufacture kiln furniture, molded honeycomb-like catalyst supports in auto emission reduction devices, thick films, porous ceramics, feed-thru insulators, vitrified ceramics, high-frequency insulators, high-performance resistors, special furnace shapes, heating element supports, exhaust catalyst supports, burner tubes, refractory setters, and substrates.
Cordierite is not a very common mineral but is important as a component of glass-ceramic materials used in applications where the material must have minimal thermal expansion (eg cooker hobs).
