leading global supplier of high-purity sodium feldspar and nepheline , is expanding awareness of its mineral solutions in the personal and industrial cleaning sector. While traditionally valued in ceramics, glass, and coatings, the company is now highlighting the growing role of sodium feldspar as a functional additive in soap, hand cleaners, and heavy-duty cleaning formulations.
With increasing demand for natural, effective, and cost-efficient ingredients, sodium feldspar is emerging as a smart choice for soap manufacturers seeking enhanced performance and sustainability.
Why Sodium Feldspar? Unlocking Natural Cleaning Power
LSAK Feldspar’s high-purity sodium feldspar powder — available in customizable mesh sizes from 100 to 1250 — is proving to be a versatile and valuable ingredient in solid and semi-solid cleaning products. Its unique physical and chemical properties offer multiple benefits:
Natural Mild Abrasive for Superior Cleaning
With a Mohs hardness of around 6, sodium feldspar provides effective yet skin-safe scrubbing action. It helps remove tough grease, oil, dirt, and grime — ideal for industrial hand soaps, garage mechanics’ soaps, and kitchen cleaning blocks.
Oil Absorption & Skin Cleansing
Its natural microporous structure allows it to absorb excess oils and contaminants, improving the deep-cleaning performance of soaps without drying out the skin.
Improved Product Stability & Texture
When added to soap formulations, sodium feldspar enhances body and firmness, reducing deformation and improving bar integrity. It also helps prevent caking in powdered detergents.
Cost-Effective Filler Without Compromise
As a naturally abundant mineral, sodium feldspar reduces reliance on more expensive surfactants while maintaining excellent cleaning performance — a win for both product efficacy and production economics.
Chemically Inert & pH Stable
Sodium feldspar does not react with alkaline components in soap (such as sodium hydroxide or fatty acid salts), ensuring long-term product stability and consistent performance.
Supports “Natural” and Eco-Friendly Claims
Free from synthetic chemicals and derived from sustainable mining operations, sodium feldspar aligns with consumer demand for clean-label, mineral-based personal care products.
Target Applications in the Cleaning Industry
Industrial Hand Soaps – For workshops, factories, and automotive garages
Heavy-Duty Cleaning Bars – Kitchen scrub soaps, utility soaps
Laundry Soaps & Detergent Powders – As a functional filler and anti-caking agent
Pet Grooming Soaps– Gentle yet effective for removing mud and debris
Eco-Friendly & Mineral-Based Soaps – For green-certified or natural brands
Custom Solutions for Global Customers
LSAK Feldspar (Ankai) owns its own feldspar mine, ensuring consistent quality, traceability, and supply security. The company offers tailored grinding solutions — from coarse 200-mesh powders for aggressive cleaning to ultra-fine 1250-mesh grades for smoother textures — to meet specific formulation needs.
“We see growing interest from soap and detergent manufacturers who want to leverage the natural functionality of minerals,” said a spokesperson from LSAK. “Sodium feldspar isn’t just for ceramics anymore. It’s a smart, multifunctional ingredient that enhances cleaning power, texture, and value — all while supporting sustainable product development.”
