Feldspar
The soda spars are used in glasses and glazes, and the high potash spars in whiteware bodies. Potassium feldspars (KAlSi 3 O 8) enable the broadest firing range and the best stability of the body against deformation during firing. Sodium feldspar (NaAlSi 3 O 8) exhibits a lower viscosity than potassium feldspar when melted at a given ...

Nomenclature and General Properties of Feldspars
Abstract. In this chapter, the specific properties of feldspars revealed in other chapters are brought together, and the resulting general properties are used in the naming of this complex family of minerals. A brief survey of the nomenclature is given in the Summary, and Fig. S-4 gives the compositional ranges of various types of feldspars.

Potash Feldspar
A feldspar is typically referred to as 'potash' if there is significantly more potassium than sodium (typically there will be 2-5% Na 2 O ). If the amounts are closer to equal they are termed potash-soda feldspars (or vice versa). Of course, real potash feldspars also have small amounts of CaO, MgO, Fe 2 O 3, etc.
