Abstract. Wollastonite is a metasilicate having an inosilicate (chain silicate) structure. It belongs to the pyroxenoid group of minerals. It is the only white acicular mineral and became famous and widely used in the industry in the 1970s 1980s as a nonhazardous replacement for asbestos fibers. During crushing and grinding, it forms acicular ...
Wollastonite is one of the most important minerals within the pyroxenoid group, among rhodonite and pectolite. Like the pyroxenes, the pyroxenoid frame is a single chain, but the individual tetrahedra are twisted relative to those in the pyroxene chain. Wollastonite is named in 1818 by J. Léman in honor of William Hyde Wollaston (1766-1828 ...
Wollastonite is commonly added to formulated powders for steel casting and welding. The addition of Wollastonite to metallurgical fluxes provides ready fusibility, good insulating qualities, and low viscosity. When molten steel is poured continuously from a ladle or tundish, a wollastonite casting powder is applied to maintain surface defects ...
Wollastonite and calcite minerals are significant raw materials and are extensively used due to their unique properties. Wollastonite is used in plastics, paint, ceramics, paper, resins, and in construction as a substitution for asbestos due to its chemical stability, thermal resistivity, needle-like shape, and brightness. Calcite is one of …

Wollastonite is strictly a curiosity and as a mineral is not especially rare. It resembles other white fibrous minerals, however, and is sometimes difficult to identify without using X—ray techniques. Facetable wollastonite is exceedingly rare, the material from Asbestos, Quebec (Jeffrey Mine) being singularly notable. ...
In plastics, wollastonite improves tensile and flexural strength, reduces resin consumption, and improves thermal and dimensional stability at elevated temperatures. Surface treatments are used to improve the adhesion between wollastonite and the polymers to which it is added. As a substitute for asbestos in floor tiles, friction products ...
