SP 1497 – Kırkagac

Product Code: SP 1497 – Kirkagac

Recommended Firing Range: 1180–1220°C
Form: Supplied in liquid form in 175 g, 500 g, and 1000 g packages.

 

Application Characteristics

• Bright artistic glaze with salmon-orange base and yellow surface vibrations, producing striking effects. In thin applications, the vibration effect decreases and the orange areas dominate. Thicker applications create white and yellow vibration transitions, enhancing the artistic effect.
• Glossy surface finish.
• Semi-opaque glaze.
• No running tendency between 1180–1200°C. Between 1200–1220°C, running may occur depending on application thickness.
• Acid-resistant.
• Does not contain toxic substances.

 

Application Methods

• Suitable for brush application; recommended thickness is 2–3 coats.
• For spray (pistol) or dipping methods, add approximately 5–30% water to adjust density.
• Recommended Baumé range: 45–55.

 

Testing Recommendation

• First-time users should prepare test tiles under their own kiln conditions and application methods to evaluate results. Preparing both vertical and horizontal test pieces helps in understanding glaze behavior.
• In the product image, the glaze was applied on BNC 1200 white porcelain clay.
• When combining artistic glazes with other artistic or different glaze groups, testing is recommended to avoid possible defects.

 

Care and Cleaning

• Washing in a dishwasher may expose the glaze surface to high-temperature chemical solutions, which can cause matting or variations in artistic effects.

 

Safety

• Personal protective equipment is recommended during application.
• Glazes interact with heat; keep away from fire and open flame during application.
• Children should use the product under adult supervision.

 

Storage

• Store in airtight conditions and protect from direct sunlight.
• If stored for a long period, the product may begin to dry. Add water, mix thoroughly, and sieve before use.
• After opening, over time, brushing agents, stabilizers, and antibacterial additives may lose effectiveness. This generally does not affect the firing result but may influence application performance (e.g., more difficult application or pre-firing surface cracking).
