Stain 6020

Description: Pink (MnAl)

Notes

This is a high-melting refractory stain.
It does not fuse well in glazes, and requires a lot of flux.
It works very well in porcelain bodies.

The stain is Mason 6020. The porcelain body is L3778D1 (covered with a transparent glaze). Manganese alumina stains are highly refractory, so much so that they simply do not work in glazes. But in vitreous bodies, like this one, the stain has no effect on the degree of vitrification! And produces a vibrant color - one that is difficult to achieve in glazes.
