    Nordkalk is a leading producer of high-quality limestone and wollastonite products in Northern Europe. Wollastonite is a calcium silicate mineral that is formed through the metamorphosis reaction of limestone and quartz. Nordkalk mines and processes wollastonite in Finland and produces a micronized grade called FW 635 that is especially suitable for industrial anti-corrosive coatings and functional filler in plastics and ceramics due to its high purity, stable quality, and low aspect ratio.

    Wollastonite CaSiO3 Physical properties of wollastonite


    Wollastonite is a natural calcium silicate mineral with Colour White
    the molecular formula CaSiO3. It has been named
    Particle shape Needles
    after William Hyde Wollaston, the English chemist
    and mineralogist, who discovered the mineral in pH 9.9
    the late 1700‘s. Wollastonite has been formed in Hardness (Mohs) 4.5
    metamorphosis reaction between limestone and Density (g/cm )3
    2.94
    quartz. The reaction has been as follows: CaCO3 Melting Point, theoretical (ºC) 1540
    + SiO2 → CaSiO3 + CO2. Wollastonite is the only
    naturally occurring white and acicular mineral. Sintering temperature (ºC) 991–1196
    Wollastonite is mainly used as source of CaO Coefficient of Expansion 6.5 x 10-6
    in ceramics and metallurgical powders, and as (mm/mm/ºC)
    reinforcing filler in plastics, paints & coatings and Refractive index 1.63
    friction materials.

    Nordkalk wollastonite Typical composition of Nordkalk wollastonite


    Nordkalk Corporation is the leading producer of high Component %
    quality limestone-based products and wollastonite in
    SiO2 53
    Northern Europe. All Nordkalk wollastonite products
    are mined and processed in Lappeenranta, Finland. CaO 44
    Nordkalk is the only wollastonite producer that Al2O3 0.8
    holds it’s own raw material resource for this mineral
    Fe2O3 0.2
    in the EU –area. Nordkalk purifies the raw material
    in unique chemical flotation process where calcite MgO 0.5
    and the gangue are removed from wollastonite. Moisture (105 ºC) 0.04
    This process makes the end product very high and Loss of Ignition (1000 ºC) 0.89
    stable in quality and therefore they are well known
    Melting point, measured (ºC) 1320
    and respected in the global market.

    FW 635 wollastonite Physical properties of FW 635


    Nordkalk FW 635 is a micronised low aspect ratio Median Particle Size, d50 (μm) 3.5
    grade. It is especially suitable for applications
    Top Cut, d98 (μm) 11
    where the technical requirements are high such as
    industrial anti-corrosive coatings. Besides paints & Bulk Density (g/cm ) 3
    0.47
    coatings, FW 635 grade is also used as functional Specific Surface Area (m /g)
    2
    3.25
    filler in plastics and as CaO source for ceramics. FW Oil Absorption (g/100g) 25
    635 is available with variety of surface treatments
    Brightness 90
    to optimize the performance in different polymer
    applications.
