Ceramics are one of the most commonly used engineering materials. Ceramic products are composed of diverse materials, which make them suitable for varied applications including construction, electronics, and aerospace industries among others. Due to their excellent resistance to heat and chemicals, ceramics find extensive use across several industries.  Common ceramics are composed of silicates that form majority of the earth’s crust. These minerals are talc clay, silica, and feldspar. Ceramic products exhibit resistance to high temperatures, salts and acids, gases, and water based on their mineral component. Ceramics’ properties make them suitable for specific applications. Ceramic materials are used for the manufacture of products such as construction materials, electrical equipment, glass products, grinding materials, dinnerware, and heat-resistant materials.  View Exclusive Global Strategic Business Report:   http://www.transparencymarketresearch.com/sample/...

Lepidolite is a hard mica mineral composed of lithium, potassium, and aluminum silicates. It is usually violet colored mineral; however, it can be yellow or grey depending upon the quantity of lithium and other trace elements. Lepidolite is an ore of lithium; thus, it is a precursor for lithium production. The mineral has pearly texture, and is significantly used in jewelry due to its vibrant colors and appearance. Lepidolite is also known as a healing crystal; it is believed to reduce stress and bring prosperity. Therefore, demand for this mineral is high. Lepidolite is also employed as heat insulator in the industrial sector. The mineral is largely found in Brazil, the U.S., Russia, and several countries in Africa. Lepidolite is significantly used in the production of lithium metal. Lithium is the lightest metal, which is employed in the manufacture of ultra-lightweight lithium ion and lithium polymer batteries for hybrid cars, mobile phones, laptops, and other portable devic...

A tire can be made of various materials such as natural rubber, synthetic rubber, synthetic textile, carbon black, fillers, stearic acid, zinc oxide, plasticizers, accelerators, and antioxidants. Although the major components of tire are natural rubber and synthetic rubber, various tire chemicals play an important role in tire manufacture. The raw materials used for this manufacture depend upon the type of tire and its intended usage. Tires can be classified into two basic types: on-road tires and off-the-road tires. Apart from the tire type, the composition of tire also depends upon the geographical conditions in which the tire is to be used mostly. Hence, depending upon geographical conditions and the type of tire, chemicals used in tire production vary. Tire chemicals used in formulations modify the properties such as elasticity, traction, rolling resistance, and weight of the tire.  View Exclusive Global Strategic Business Report:   http://www.transparencymarketr...
