SP 1215 – Nevada

Product Code: SP 1215 – Nevada

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

Application Characteristics

• In thin applications, the glaze produces a dark beige-green surface with subtle green undertones and a semi-matte finish. As the application thickness increases, the glaze becomes highly fluid during firing, creating distinctive artistic effects. While maintaining its beige-green base tone, artistic brown speckles develop across the surface, and the finish becomes fully glossy.
• Glossy surface finish at thicker applications.
• The glaze is opaque; however, localized transparency may occur in areas where the glaze flows during firing.
• Highly fluid within the recommended firing temperature range.
• This glaze is not acid-resistant; therefore, it is not recommended for contact with acidic foods.
• Does not contain toxic substances.

Application Methods

• For brush application, apply 1–3 coats depending on the desired effect.
• For spray or dipping applications, it is recommended to dilute the glaze with approximately 5–30% water to achieve the desired consistency.
• Recommended Baumé (Bé) range: 45–55.

Testing Recommendations

• For customers using our glazes for the first time, we recommend preparing test tiles using your own firing schedule and application method to better understand the glaze’s behavior. Testing on both vertical and horizontal forms is especially beneficial.
• The sample shown was applied over BNC 1200 White Porcelain Clay. Since the glaze exhibits partial transparency in flowing areas, its color and artistic effects may vary when applied to colored clay bodies.
• When combining artistic glazes with other artistic or standard glaze series, we strongly recommend testing beforehand to avoid unexpected results.

Care and Cleaning

• When washed in a dishwasher, the glaze surface may be exposed to high-temperature chemical detergents, which can cause slight matting or changes to its artistic appearance over time.

Safety

• The use of appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) is recommended during application.
• As glazes react to heat, keep them away from open flames and ignition sources during use.
• Children should use the product only under adult supervision.

Storage

• Store the product in a tightly sealed container away from direct sunlight.
• If the glaze begins to dry after prolonged storage, add a small amount of water, mix thoroughly, and strain before use.
• After opening, the application aids, stabilizers, and preservatives contained in the glaze may gradually lose effectiveness over time. Although this generally does not affect the fired result, it may reduce application performance, making the glaze more difficult to apply or causing surface cracking before firing.
