This material is produced from calcined mullite that is precisely sized through a series of screens and blended to obtain a series of coarse to fine sizes. During screening the grains are de-dusted. The product is used mainly for stucco and investment casting, in ceramics its main application is as a low expansion grog for bodies.

Mulcoa 47 and Mulcoa 60 are alternate products, these numbers refer to the approximate alumina content. Mulcoa 70 is thus the highest in alumina and therefore highest in mullite mineral (87%) and the lowest in glass. Mulcoa 47 is 65% mullite and 20% glass and 15% cristobalite (the others have no cristobalite).
Mulcoa 70 is the most refractory, Mulcoa 60 is 37 PCE and Mulcoa 47 is 35 PCE. Mulcoa 47 has a reheat change of 0.8% at 2800F and 3.1% at 2910F, Mulcoa 60 is zero for both.

Various grades for each are available in the following U.S.S. Sieve Mesh sizes:
10x18, 14x28, 16x30, 22S, 35S, 50S, 60S, 20x50, 35x80, 50x100, 60x200, 300S, 200 IC-C, 325 IC-C

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.
