S 1086 – LATTE

Product Code: S 1086 / Latte

Recommended Firing Temperature Range: 1030–1060 °C

Form: Supplied in liquid form in 118 ml, 335 ml and 670 ml packages.

Application Properties:

• This is an artistic glaze with a matte milky coffee-colored base featuring glossy black speckles. Since the particles distribute evenly across the surface during firing, it provides a smooth finish. As the application thickness increases, the density of the speckles adhering to the surface also increases, enhancing the artistic effect.

• It provides an opaque finish on the applied surface.

• The surface finish is matte, while the particles on the surface have a glossy appearance.

• It is not acid-resistant. Therefore, contact with acidic foods is not recommended.

• Does not contain toxic substances.

NOTE: Particle glazes require high viscosity to keep the particles suspended within the glaze. Therefore, they are more suitable for brush application. In pouring or dipping applications, the particles may tend to settle to the bottom because they cannot remain suspended when the viscosity of the glaze is reduced. This may negatively affect the even distribution of the speckles across the surface during application.

Application Methods:

• Suitable for brush application; the recommended application thickness is 1 to 3 coats.

• For spray or dipping applications, adding approximately 5–30% water is recommended to adjust the viscosity.

• Recommended specific gravity range: 45–55 on the Baumé scale.

Testing Recommendation:

• For customers using our glazes for the first time, we recommend preparing test tiles to observe the results according to their own firing schedules and application methods. Preparing test tiles on both vertical and horizontal surfaces according to your application method will be useful for getting to know the glaze.

• The product shown in the image was applied over CMR 250 white casting clay.

• When combining artistic glazes with other artistic glazes or other glaze groups, we recommend testing beforehand to avoid possible incompatibilities or unexpected results.

Care and Cleaning:

• When the product is washed in a dishwasher, the glaze surface may be exposed to high-temperature chemical solutions, which may result in matting or changes in its artistic effects.

Safety:

• The use of personal protective equipment is recommended during application.

• Since glazes interact with heat, keep them away from sources of fire and open flames during application.

• Children should use the product only under supervision.

Storage:

• Store the products in an airtight manner and protect them from direct sunlight.

• Products may begin to dry when stored for a very long period. In this case, add a small amount of water, mix thoroughly, and strain before use.

• After opening the package, the shelf life may be extended; however, the application aids, stabilizers, and preservatives contained in the glazes may gradually lose their effectiveness over time. This generally does not affect the firing result of the glaze, but it may affect application performance. Application may become more difficult, or cracks may form on the surface before firing.
