This is used as an addition to low and medium fire glazes to increase their thermal expansion to solve shivering problems.
| Materials |
Fusion Frit F-524
A low fire base glaze, add 10% kaolin, adjust thermal expansion using other frits. |
| Materials |
Frit
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. |
| 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. |
