SP 1265 – Salda

Recommended Firing Range: 1180–1250°C
Form: Supplied as a liquid glaze in 175 g, 500 g, and 1000 g containers.

Application Characteristics

• Salda is a transparent artistic glaze featuring black glitter-effect particles dispersed over a turquoise-blue background.
• In thin applications, the black glitter particles are clearly visible on a light turquoise surface.
• As the application thickness increases, the base color deepens into darker turquoise shades, while the density of the particles becomes more pronounced.
• When fired at 1250°C, subtle green-toned halos may develop around the black glitter particles.
• In thicker applications, both the particle concentration and these green-toned effects become more intense, creating rich color transitions from turquoise to green across the surface.
• These characteristics give the glaze a dynamic appearance and visual depth, producing unique artistic effects with every application.
• Glossy surface finish.
• Transparent glaze.
• No running tendency when applied within the recommended thickness range.
• Acid-resistant and free from toxic substances.

Application Methods

• For brush application, 1–3 coats are recommended.
• For spray or dipping applications, approximately 5–30% water may be added to adjust the consistency.
• Recommended Baumé range: 45–55.

Testing Recommendations

• For customers using our glazes for the first time, we recommend creating test tiles using their own firing schedules and application methods to evaluate the results.
• Preparing both vertical and horizontal test pieces can be helpful in understanding the glaze’s behavior.
• The sample shown in the product image was applied on BNC 1200 white porcelain clay.
• Since this is a transparent glaze, its color and artistic effects may vary when applied to colored clay bodies.
• When combining artistic glazes with other artistic or standard glaze groups, testing is strongly recommended to avoid unexpected results.

Care and Cleaning

• When washed in a dishwasher, the glaze surface may be exposed to high-temperature chemical detergents. Over time, slight dulling or changes in the artistic surface effects may occur.

Safety

• The use of appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) during application is recommended.
• As glazes react to heat, they should be kept away from fire and open flame sources during handling and application.
• Children should use the product only under adult supervision.

Storage

• Store in airtight containers away from direct sunlight.
• If the product dries out after extended storage, add a small amount of water, mix thoroughly, and strain before use.
• After opening, the application-enhancing additives, stabilizers, and preservatives contained in the glaze may gradually lose effectiveness over time. While this typically does not affect the fired result, it may impact application performance, making the glaze more difficult to apply or causing pre-firing surface cracking.
