Ceramitalc
Talc
Ceramitalc No. 1 and 10A are recommended for use in all ceramic applications where fine ground talc will develop higher firing strength than coarser grades. Ceramitalc is used as an auxilliary flux in electrical porcelain, hotel china, and sanitaryware bodies to lower maturing temperatures without narrowing the firing range. In semiviteous dinnerware, a decrease of the moisture expansion and in increase is thermal expansion contribute to improved resistance to crazing in glazed ware.
Nytal 99 and Ceramitalc HDT are outstanding pressing grades of talc for use in ceramic wall tile and artware. Both products develop high uniform thermal expansion and low moisture expansion to prevent crazing in bodies that can be safely fired at rapid cycles. Nytal 99 produces bodies with somewhat lower shrinkage than Ceramictalc HDT, otherwise they are similar.
Nytal 100 is used as an auxilliary flux in vitreous bodies such as electrical porcelain and sanitaryware. It can be substituted directly for feldspar; up to 3% results in a tighter and stronger body if fired to the same temperature, or maturing temperatures may be reduced. Nytal 100 is recommended for cordierite development in refractory specialties, and to impart strength and resistance to delayed crazing in semivitreous dinnerware. Nytal 100HR and Ceramitalc 10AC have special use in art pottery and hobby casting slips. All three grades perform well in dry pressing, ram-pressing and in the making of good casting slips.
Ceramitalc 10AC and Nytal 100HR are controlled for specific resistance, keeping the soluble salts under tight control. These low soluble salts enable users to produce high talc casting bodies, without difficulties in slip rheology.

The future of ceramic recipe, material and physical testing record keeping is here.
Maintain your recipe database on-line
- Login to a private account or work with others in a group account (e.g. university).
- Nothing to install (access it using your web browser). It is always the latest version.
- Easy to import your existing data.
- As many side-by-side recipes as you want.
- Many ways to search and classify glaze and body recipes.
- Glaze and body recipes are robust, with units-of-measure, unlimited pictures with individual titles and descriptions.
- Add variations to a recipe; each with its own pictures, descriptions and name/code-number extensions.
- Recipes can link to typecodes, projects and firing schedules (all managed in their own areas).
- Standard reports and mix ticket reports with last-minute-totalling; variations report as if they are a complete recipe.
- Video tutorials, help system, contact form on every page, dedicated messaging and support ticket systems.
- It is an industrial-strength database system (unlimited capacity, fast, reliable, scalable).
Imports many file formats
- Glaze recipe formats supported: HyperGlaze, GlazeGhem, GlazeMaster, Matrix, INSIGHT XML recipes (single and multiple), INSIGHT SQLite DB files.
- Assign a batch number to imports, and later search by batch.
- Assign multiple typecodes to imported glaze and body batches (to classify) and search on these later.
- Prepend character sequences to glaze recipe names during import.
- Import the pictures and pair them to their corresponding records automatically.
- One click to automatically export the database to an SQLite DB database file and download it (for use with desktop INSIGHT or just as a backup).
- Export and import individual glaze recipes as text or XML.
Perfect for Education
- Ceramic study programs can now accumulate material, recipe and testing data year-after-year, students can login and together build a valuable ceramic glaze and body knowledge resource.
- Students already have internet connected devices, computers are not even needed in the class.
- The Reference Manager gives you quick access to the Digitalfire Ceramic Reference Database.
