Application Characteristics

• This opaque glaze creates green tonal effects through the particles contained within its composition. In single-coat applications, the number and density of particles settling on the surface are lower, resulting in a softer green effect. As the application thickness increases, the particles spread over a wider area, creating denser green effects across the surface. In firings at 1250°C, the green tones become lighter and may reveal localized yellowish effects.
• The surface finish is glossy.
• The glaze has an opaque character.
• No running tendency is observed within the recommended firing range.
• This glaze is not acid resistant. Therefore, contact with acidic foods is not recommended.
• Contains no toxic substances.

IMPORTANT NOTE

Particle-effect glazes require high viscosity in order to keep the particles suspended within the glaze. For this reason, they are more suitable for brush application.

In pouring or dipping methods, reducing the glaze density may cause the particles to settle at the bottom instead of remaining suspended. This can negatively affect the even distribution of speckled effects across the surface during application.

Application Methods

• For brush applications, the recommended thickness is 1 to 3 coats.
• For spray gun or dipping methods, adding approximately 5–30% water is recommended to adjust the density.
• Recommended Baume range: 45–55.

Testing Recommendations

• We recommend that customers using our glazes for the first time create test tiles using their own kiln schedules and application methods to better understand the results. Preparing test tiles on both vertical and horizontal forms according to your application technique will help you become familiar with the glaze.
• In the sample image, the glaze was applied on BNC 1200 white porcelain clay. Due to the glaze’s translucent nature, the color and artistic effects may vary on colored clay bodies.
• When combining artistic glazes with other artistic or standard glaze groups, we recommend conducting tests beforehand to avoid possible incompatibilities or defects.

Care and Cleaning

• When washed in a dishwasher, the glaze surface may be exposed to high-temperature chemical solutions, which can cause matting or variations in its artistic appearance.

---

Safety

• The use of personal protective equipment during application is recommended.
• Since glazes react to heat, keep away from fire and open flame sources during application.
• Children should use the product under supervision.

Storage

• Store products in airtight conditions and protect them from direct sunlight.
• If stored for a very long time, the glaze may begin to dry out. In this case, add a small amount of water, mix thoroughly, and strain before use.
• After opening, over extended shelf life periods, the brushing agents, stabilizers, and antibacterial additives in the glaze may gradually lose effectiveness. This usually does not affect the fired result, but it may influence application performance, making the glaze harder to apply or causing surface cracking before firing.
