Matthey Frit 3701F

General purpose alkaline frit

Chemistry %

Li2O2.10
K2O3.30
Na2O10.10
B2O337.80
SiO246.60
COLE - Co-efficient of Linear Expansion 89x10-7
MLPT - Melting Point (MP) 950-1050C

Slightly soluble, this can be suppressed by addition of Blythe antycrystalising agent RM484 or by using Blythe frit 5009 which is more stable, but has a higher melting point.
Use this frit for introducing Na2O into glaze formulas, as a binding agent for polishig disks, as a base for under glaze for reactive floor tile glazes

Blythe supplies the molecular weight: 373
and this partial formula:
1.00 NA+K2O+LI2O
2.86 SiO2
1.99 B2O3

and this analysis:
Na2O / K2O / Li2O 16.6 %
SiO2 46%
B2O3 37.3%

We have thus extrapolated this approximate formula:
SiO2 46.0
B2O3 37.3
Na2O 10.0
K2O 3.3
Li2O 2.00

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.
