SP 1385 – Tanzanite

Recommended Firing Range

1200–1230°C

Packaging

Available as a liquid glaze in 175 g, 500 g, and 1000 g containers.

Product Features

• An artistic glaze with a satin matte finish, displaying purple and deep navy blue tones with subtle violet movement across the surface.
• When applied in thin coats, the dynamic surface effect becomes more pronounced.
• As the application becomes thicker, the violet movement intensifies, gradually covering the surface and creating a smoother appearance.
• At higher firing temperatures, the glaze develops a glossy deep blue finish. In heavily applied areas, purple speckling appears, creating rich tonal variations.
• Depending on the firing temperature, the surface can range from satin matte to glossy.
• Opaque finish.
• No running or excessive flow within the recommended firing range.
• Acid resistant.
• Free from toxic substances.

Application Methods

• Suitable for brush application. Recommended application thickness is 2–3 coats.
• For spraying or dipping, dilute with approximately 5–30% water to achieve the desired consistency.
• Recommended specific gravity: 45–55° Bé.

Testing Recommendations

• We recommend first-time users test the glaze under their own firing schedule and application method before production.
• Preparing both vertical and horizontal test tiles will help you better understand the glaze’s performance.
• The sample shown was applied over BNC 1200 White Porcelain Clay.
• When combining artistic glazes with other artistic or standard glaze series, we recommend conducting compatibility tests beforehand to avoid unexpected results.

Care & Cleaning

• When washed in a dishwasher, the glaze surface may be exposed to high-temperature chemical detergents. Over time, this may cause slight changes in the matte finish or alter the artistic surface characteristics.

Safety

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

Storage

• Store in a tightly sealed container, protected from direct sunlight and air exposure.
• If the glaze thickens or begins to dry after prolonged storage, add a small amount of water, mix thoroughly, and strain before use.
• After opening, the effectiveness of application additives such as flow enhancers, stabilizers, and preservatives may gradually decrease over time. While this typically does not affect the fired result, it may reduce application performance or cause pre-firing surface cracking. If this occurs, please contact us for technical assistance.
