Feldspar one of the most common materials found in glazes can be classified into three groups.
Ceramic glaze soda feldspar.
F4 is no longer availab.
Also serious crazing is highlighted on the cone 6 sample it is also happening at cone 5 and 7.
However some differences will be apparent.
In many cases soda and potash feldspar are interchangeable in glaze recipes.
Which are true mineral names.

Feldspar is an important ingredient in clay bodies and glazes.
Sodium feldspars kona f 4 nepheline syenite 270x nepheline sy enite 400x.
Potassium fluxed glazes have greater durability than soda fluxed glazes.
Soda feldspar normally melts better.
Crystalline minerals made up of mainly silica and alumina in combination with sodium and potassium oxides.
The potassium fluxes include.
Custer feldspar nako al2o3 6sio2 is a one of the primary feldspars.
Potassium is preferred for high fire glazes.
Potash feldspars such as custer and g 200.
Pure soda feldspar minspar 200 fired like a glaze at cone 4 5 6 and 7 on porcelainous stoneware samples.
Using digitalfire insight to formulate fix and adjust ceramic glazes.
In both applications they provide additional alumina al2o3 and silica sio2.
Used extensively in both clay up to 25 and glaze up to 100.
Contains mainly potassium but also has sodium and calcium.
Feldspars used in ceramic glazes and clay making.
Nepheline syenite is actually a rock composed of potash and soda feldspars plus the mineral nepheline a sodium.
Minspar 200 is a 200 mesh flotation grade soda feldspar.
Notice there is no melting at all at cone 4.
Albite mineral from which soda feldspar is derived often tends to be white in appearance compared with the pinkish hue of orthoclase mineral from which potash feldspar is ground.
