This is a USA pottery frit, Ferro now calls it Frit CC-274-2. This is very similar to Fusion frit 524 except that it does not have the 2% BaO.
As of 2008 Ferro only provides an approximate analysis, but the one here is historical (from previous sources).
Materials |

Frits are made by melting mixes of raw materials, quenching the melt in water, grinding the pebbles into a powder. Frits have chemistries raw materials cannot. |

Fusion Frit F-524
A low fire base glaze, add 10% kaolin, adjust thermal expansion using other frits. |
Typecodes |
Frit
A frit is the powdered form a man-made glass. Frits are premelted, then ground to a glass. They have tightly controlled chemistries, they are available for glazes of all types. |
