It is found as a constituent of slate, phyllite, a few schists, and other early-stage metamorphic rocks.

Key Points: 
  • It is found as a constituent of slate, phyllite, a few schists, and other early-stage metamorphic rocks.
  • Pyrophyllite is used as a raw material in ceramic as it lowers firing temperature, reduces thermal expansion and shrinking and cracking, and improves thermal shock resistance.
  • Additionally, the finished product has a high degree of vitrification and good mechanical resistance.
  • Owing to the above-mentioned factors, the market for pyrophyllite in the Asia-Pacific region is projected to grow significantly during the study period.
