Glass wool can be a loose-fill material, blown into attics, or together with an active binder, sprayed on the underside of structures, sheets, and panels that can be used to insulate flat surfaces such as cavity wall insulation, ceiling tiles, curtain walls, and ducting.

Yellow dextrins are used aswater-soluble glues in remoistenable envelope adhesives and paper tubes, in the mining industry as additives in froth flotation, in the foundry industry as green strength additives in sand casting, as printing thickener for batik resist dyeing, and as binders in gouache paint and also in the

Pyrophyllite is easily machineable and has excellent thermal stability, so it is added to clay to reduce thermal expansion when firing, but it has many other industry uses

• when combined with other compounds
• such as in insecticide and for making bricks.
•  refractory
• foundry
• abrasives
• flux etc

 Glass, Paint industries and steel furnaces etc. These are also used for flooring purposes in buildings. These are composed of calcium carbonate and magnesium.

Copper slag is a by-product of copper extraction by smelting. During smelting, impurities become slag which floats on the molten metal. Slag that is quenched in water produces angular granules which are disposed of as waste or utilized as discussed

Marble powder can be used as an admixture in concrete, so that strength of the concrete can be increased. It is a solid waste material generated from the marble processing and can be used either as a filler material in cement or fine aggregates while preparing concrete

• Ball clays are fine grained, 
• highly plastic clays, 
• which are principally used in the manufacture of ceramic whiteware and sanitaryware where they are appreciated for their plasticity, unfired strength and their light color on firing.

It is used to make concrete, 

• to create foundations for new roads, 
• to mix with asphalt, 
• fill construction sites, 
• even create other construction materials like blocks, 
• pipes, 
• bricks. 
• In some cases gravel is piled into blast furnaces and used as a flux.

Stearic acid is used in

• ceramic shells for investment casting, 
• refractories, 
• friction products, 
• insulating fibres and glass.

There are three main uses of zeolites in industry: 

• catalysis, 
• gas separation
• ion exchange. 
• Catalysis: Zeolites are extremely useful as catalysts for several important reactions involving organic molecules. 
• The most important are cracking, 
• isomerisation and hydrocarbon synthesis.

In the preparation of of polysialate polymers.

To prepare mullite composites by sintering kaolinite and alumina.

To synthesize microporous materials such as zeolite Linde Type A         (LTA) and kaoline based silicoaluminophosphate (SAPO)               molecular sieves.

In the synthesis of terbium pyridine-picolinate grafted kaoline, as a       luminescent hybrid material.

As a filler and a coating pigment in the paper industry.

Zircon is used in 

• ceramics, 
• specialty castings and various refractory applications, 
• where its resistance to high temperature and abrasion make it extremely valuable in the manufacturing processes as well as ceramics such as glazes for tiles and sanitary wear.
