V₂O₅ (Vanadium Pentoxide)

Family	Other
Weight	181.900

MLPT - Melting Point (MP)

670-685C

Notes

An acidic metallic oxide which produces yellow coloration in amounts to 10%. Its color in generally weak, but can be strengthened when fritted with tin and zirconia. Although yellows can be prepared with antimony, vanadium is stable at higher temperatures.

The most vibrant color is obtained in leaded glazes.

Also a strong flux.

Another form, Vanadium Trioxide (V2O3) also exists and is alkaline in nature.

Mechanisms

Glaze Color - Yellow
A classic yellow colorant.
