Form: Supplied as a liquid glaze in 175 g, 500 g, and 1000 g containers.

Application Characteristics

• This artistic glaze produces warm milky coffee tones after firing.
• No significant color variation is observed between thin and thick applications.
• In thicker applications, subtle surface movement and fine tonal variations may become more pronounced.
• Glossy surface finish.
• Opaque glaze.
• May exhibit flowing characteristics depending on the application thickness.
• Acid-resistant and free from toxic substances.

Application Methods

• For brush application, 1–3 coats are recommended.
• For spray or dipping applications, approximately 5–30% water may be added to adjust the consistency.
• Recommended Baumé range: 45–55.

Testing Recommendations

• For customers using our glazes for the first time, we recommend creating test tiles using their own firing schedules and application methods to evaluate the results.
• Preparing both vertical and horizontal test pieces can be helpful in understanding the glaze’s behavior.
• The sample shown in the product image was applied on BNC 1200 white porcelain clay.
• As glaze performance and visual effects may vary depending on the clay body used, testing on your own clay is recommended.
• When combining artistic glazes with other artistic or standard glaze groups, testing is strongly recommended to avoid unexpected results.

Care and Cleaning

• When washed in a dishwasher, the glaze surface may be exposed to high-temperature chemical detergents. Over time, slight dulling or changes in the artistic surface effects may occur.

Safety

• The use of appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) during application is recommended.
• As glazes react to heat, they should be kept away from fire and open flame sources during handling and application.
• Children should use the product only under adult supervision.

Storage

• Store in airtight containers away from direct sunlight.
• If the product dries out after extended storage, add a small amount of water, mix thoroughly, and strain before use.
• After opening, the application-enhancing additives, stabilizers, and preservatives contained in the glaze may gradually lose effectiveness over time. While this typically does not affect the fired result, it may impact application performance, making the glaze more difficult to apply or causing pre-firing surface cracking.
