Stain (yellow)

Description: ZrPr Yellows (ZrPr/ZrPrSi, ZrPr)

Notes

Color Range
-----------
Very bright lemon yellow. The cleanest yellow stable at high temperatures.

Specific Gravity: 4.0-4.75
----------------

Stability/Kiln Atmosphere
-------------------------
Excellent in all types of glazes and bodies for firing at temperatures up to 1300C. Should preferably be fired in an oxidising atmosphere. Where slightly reducing conditions are encountered, zircon-praseodymium yellows have considerably greater stability than tin-vanadium yellows.

Compatibility
-------------
Suitable for blending with all other types of ceramic colors. Widely used in blends with zircon-vanadium blues to produce very clean, bright and stable shades of green, the specific gravities of the two being similar enough to avoid the risks of color separation.

Cost
----
Relatively high.
