Ceramic Frits
Ceramic frit is a type of glass, it is a combination of materials melted together making them insoluble in water and resistant to acids. Frits are, thus, used as means of introducing raw materials materials into a glaze which would otherwise be soluble in water and / or toxic. The other benefits include lower firing temperatures, homogenous quality and consistent results. Frits can either used alone as a low temperature glaze, as in raku or ma olica, but generally they form the basis of a glaze recipe as a ma or or minor component depending upon the recipe and the firing temperature. Lead Frits ! glazes based on lead frits produce a shiny, durable finish and gi"e brightness and clarity of colour with oxides or stains. #hile they can be used on all earthenware clays, they are particularly suitable for terra!cotta red clay. $ue to the toxic nature of lead, these are generally used for glazing of decorati"e products. Borax Frits ! borax frits are used in the production of glazes when a lead free glaze is required. These frits are used the maximum for making glazes. %light milkiness at lower temperatures may be e"ident o"er red clays. Alkaline Frits & these are similar to borax frits but with a high alkaline 'soda and potash( content. The colour response from copper and manganese is typically turquoise and purple/brown respecti"ely. )lkaline frits ha"e a high expansion coefficient which makes them a suitable base for crackle glazes. All frits are supplied in powder form. Ask separately for frits in granular form.
