Global Cristobalite Market Definition

The mineral polymorph of silica which is formed at a very high temperature is called Cristobalite. Its chemical formula is similar to the quartz, sio2 but has a distinct structure. The properties of Cristobalite are similar to quartz and its color is white or sometimes it is colorless. It is used in different industries as a stone and filler for engineering.

There are two varieties of Cristobalites i.e, first one is low Cristobalites which occur naturally below 270°C, and at above, 270°C high Cristobalites happen, also it is found that at lower temperatures it is unstable while at higher temperatures it is stable. Apart from artificial marble and ceramics, cristobalite is being extensively used to produce industrial coatings, road marking paints, and metallurgy.

Global Cristobalite Market Overview

The increasing rate of building construction across the world is driving the demand for artificial stones which is contributing to the growth of the Cristobalite Market. Cristobalite has a color of white, bright, or sometimes colorless also Talking about its properties it is highly durable in nature and has high resistance to chemicals and scratching. This reason makes Cristobalite in engineering stone and for the variety of applications like floorings, bathrooms, etc it is a perfect fit.

These factors are contributing to the growth of the market. The demand for cristobalite has exceeded that of supply. So, it is a highly lucrative market for investors. However, Cristobalite affects human health for a long duration, and in some cases, it may cause cancer.
