Tourmaline Powder

Tourmaline powder is a functional mineral powder produced from selected tourmaline ore through cleaning, crushing, grinding, classification, and quality inspection. Tourmaline is a complex borosilicate mineral group that may contain silicon, aluminum, boron, iron, magnesium, sodium, calcium, potassium, lithium, and other trace elements depending on the ore type. Because of its special mineral structure, tourmaline powder is widely used in functional materials, water treatment media, ceramic materials, coatings, plastics, textiles, personal care formulations, and industrial mineral applications.

Compared with ordinary mineral fillers, tourmaline powder is often selected not only for its mineral filler performance but also for its functional material positioning. It can be used as a raw material for negative ion powder, far infrared powder, tourmaline ceramic balls, functional masterbatch, mineral coatings, water treatment products, cosmetic powders, textile finishing agents, and composite materials. Different industries require different fineness, purity, color, and functional test standards. Therefore, choosing the correct grade is important for stable downstream performance.

WANCHENG MINERAL supplies tourmaline powder in different mesh sizes and customized specifications for global customers. Common available grades may include 100 mesh, 200 mesh, 325 mesh, 600 mesh, 800 mesh, 1250 mesh, and other customized fineness. The product can be supplied as black tourmaline powder, gray tourmaline powder, or customized functional mineral powder depending on the raw material and customer requirements.

For international buyers, stable particle size distribution, clean packaging, low moisture, consistent color, and reliable supply are very important. WANCHENG MINERAL focuses on controlled processing, product inspection, export packaging, sample support, and technical communication to help customers select suitable tourmaline powder for their target market.

    Technical Specifications

    Tourmaline powder can be produced in different fineness levels according to customer application. Coarser grades are suitable for ceramic balls, water treatment media, construction materials, and industrial fillers. Medium grades are often used in coatings, plastics, rubber, ceramics, and functional composite materials. Fine and ultra-fine grades are used in textiles, cosmetic formulations, personal care products, high-end coatings, and functional powder blends where smoothness and dispersion are important.

    Typical technical indicators include appearance, particle size, moisture, pH value, whiteness or color, bulk density, purity, and functional test references such as negative ion release or far infrared emission. These functional values may vary depending on raw ore, grinding fineness, test method, and application environment. For this reason, WANCHENG MINERAL recommends sample evaluation before bulk orders, especially for cosmetic, textile, water treatment, or functional material applications.

    The following specification data are typical reference values only. Final product data should be confirmed according to customer requirements, production batch, testing method, and final application.
