Application Characteristics
- This glaze exhibits varying surface characteristics depending on the firing temperature. At firing temperatures between 1200–1220°C, the glaze develops a light cream-colored base with fine brown speckled vibrations that create a sandy effect on the surface. At this range, the surface finish is matte. As the firing temperature increases, the surface gradually transforms into a distinctly glossy structure. At 1250°C, the surface becomes fully glossy, and prominent light yellow speckles appear over the cream-colored base. As the application thickness increases, the amount of speckling on the surface also increases.
- The surface finish transitions from matte to glossy depending on the firing temperature.
- The glaze has high opacity.
- No running tendency is observed within the recommended firing range.
- Acid resistant and contains no toxic substances.
Application Methods
- Suitable for brush application; the recommended thickness is 1 to 2 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.
- 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. If you encounter such issues, please contact us for solution recommendations.
- All ready to use glazes are available in 118 ml, 335 ml and 670 ml jars.
- Our glazes are formulated ready to use in liquid forms.
- It is recommended to apply by brush two to three even coats.
- For other application methods you can add 5 %- 10 % water for diluting.
- Before application, the glaze should be homogeneous.
- We suggest you to test glazes on tiles and later on make final applications.
