Stain (orange)
Orange (ZrVIn, ZrVY)
Based on a calcined mixture of zirconia, vanadium pentoxide and indium oxide or yttrium oxide. Complete freedom from soluble salts is important to minimise the risks of producing dimples and other defects in the glazed surfaces of finished ware.
Color
-----
More orange than zircon-vanadium yellow.
Specific Gravity: 5.5 to 6.0
Stability/Kiln Atmosphere
-------------------------
Excellent in most types of glazes and bodies for firing at temperatures up to 1450C.
May be fired under reducing conditions with no risk of fading.
Compatibility
-------------
Suitable for blending with all other types of ceramic colours.
Cost
----
Relatively high.
Note: This description is taken from information provided by Blythe Matthey and may or may not apply to stains of this family from other companies.
Mechanisms
Body Color - Orange Engobe or Body Stain: Suitable for all types of bodies and slips.
No tendency to strike or flash.
Extremely stable under reducing conditions
Glaze Color - Orange Suitable for all types of glazes, although best results are obtained with leadless glazes having low alkali and boron contents. Used extensively for producing shades of ivory at low percentage concentrations.
Overmilling the colour when adding to glaze should be avoided as it tends to weaken the colour rapidly. Advisable only to slop the stain as it disperses readily.
Underglaze Color: Excellent stability, especially in decoration of porcelain at high temperature in reducing atmosphere.

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.
