Ferro Frit CE VTR 29

Alternate Names: Frit VTR 29, Frit VTR29

Description: Lead bisilicate frit

Oxide	Analysis	Formula
PbO	65.00%	1.00
SiO2	35.00%	2.00
Oxide Weight		343.38
Formula Weight		343.38

Notes

Their web page does not give the chemistry, but does indicate the presence of Al₂O₃ and KNaO. We assume these are in small amounts since they call this a lead bisilicate.

Typecodes	Leaded Frit Frits can contain 1% or 80% PbO so this category can be misleading, check the chemistry to find out.
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.
