Composed of 50%-70% SiO₂ (glass former), 10%-20% Al₂O₃ (stabilizer), and high-purity metal oxide colorants (e.g., iron oxide for red, cobalt oxide for blue), it achieves vivid, long-lasting hues through controlled crystallization during firing. The glaze exhibits moderate fluidity (viscosity of 800-1200 cP at 25℃), allowing artists to manipulate textures from smooth, glossy finishes to subtle crackled effects. It dries completely in 2-4 hours at room temperature (25℃, 50% humidity), reducing waiting time between application and firing.
Customizable Aesthetics: Blends seamlessly with other glazes or pigments to create over 200 color variations, with crystallization effects enhanced by glaze thickness (3-5 coats recommended for deep textures).
Firing Versatility: Matures at 1100-1250℃ (medium temperature), compatible with electric, gas, and wood-fired kilns—adjusts to both oxidation and reduction atmospheres.
Durable Finish: Resists fading and scratching with a Mohs hardness of 5-6 after firing; maintains color integrity even after 500 hours of indoor light exposure.
Eco-Friendly Formula: VOC content below 50g/L, meeting EU ECOCERT standards, making it safe for home studio use.
Application Scenarios: Handmade pottery (mugs, bowls), ceramic sculptures, decorative wall tiles, craft gifts, and small-batch artisanal ceramics.
Operation Guidelines: Apply via soft-bristle brushes (size 8-12 for details) or low-pressure spraying (0.2-0.3MPa, 0.1-0.3mm thickness per coat). Fire test pieces first to adjust for kiln temperature variations—note that wood-fired kilns may produce slight color shifts. Clean tools immediately after use with clean water to prevent glaze clumping.
Q: Can it be mixed with other glazes for unique effects?
A: Yes, mixing with transparent glazes adjusts opacity (1:1 ratio for semi-transparency), but always test compatibility on small test tiles to avoid bubbling or peeling during firing.
Q: How to prevent crazing in fired pieces?
A: Match the glaze’s thermal expansion coefficient (8-10×10⁻⁶/℃) to the clay body and slow the cooling rate by 50℃/hour between 1000℃ and 600℃—rapid cooling here is the primary cause of crazing.
Q: Is it safe for food-contact items?
A: Not recommended for regular food use, as metal oxides may leach over time. Opt for our food-grade glazes (e.g., Daily Use Porcelain Transparent Glaze) for tableware.
Q: What’s the coverage per liter?
A: Approximately 20㎡ with 2-3 coats when spraying, or 15㎡ when brushing—coverage decreases with thicker application (e.g., 5 coats yield ~10㎡ per liter).
Q: How long does the glaze take to dry before firing?
A: At 25℃ and 50% humidity, it dries fully in 3 hours. In high-humidity environments (>70%), extend drying time to 5-6 hours or use a low-temperature fan (30℃) to speed up the process.
