Stain (yellow)

Yellows (ZrV)

It is important that stains of this type be free from soluble vanadium salts to minimize the risk of dimples and other glaze defects.

Color Range
-----------
Primrose yellow to brownish yellow; weaker and less clean in shade than tin-vanadium yellows.

Specific Gravity: 5.5-6.0
----------------

Stability/Kiln Atmosphere
-------------------------
Excellent in most types of glazes and bodies for firing at temperatures over 1350C. May be fired in reducing conditions with no risk of fading.

Compatibility
-------------
Suitable for blending with all other types of ceramic colors.

Cost
----
Cost is lower the tin-vanadium or zircon-praseodymium yellows.

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.

Excellent for producing stable shades of ivory (approx 1% concentrations). Best results are obtained with leadless glazes having low boron contents.
Either tin oxide or zircon may be used as an opacifier. The use of zircon helps to prevent solution of the stain by the glaze. The stain should be added to the glaze during the last hour of milling since overmilling tends to weaken the color.
Underglaze Color: Suitable for use under all types of glazes for firing at temperatures up to over 1350C. Generally restricted to applications that require colors for firing at 1100C or above, and to the production of muted pastel shades.

Suitable for all types of bodies and slips for firing at temperatures up to 1350C. Displays no tendency to strike, flash, or to bloat the body. Extremely stable under reducing conditions.

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.
