Materials |
Ferro Frit 3124
A commonly available calcium borosilicate frit. |
Materials |
Ferro Frit 3249
A magnesia borosilicate frit. Very low thermal expansion and melting point. Invaluable in pottery to increase the MgO in glazes and thereby prevent crazing. |

Fusion Frit F-75
High sodium, high thermal expansion low boron frit. An equivalent of Ferro Frit 3110. |
Materials |
Fusion Frit FZ-16
The champion in our frit melt-off competitition. This frit showcases the amazing fluxing power of boron and zinc working together. It is 15.5% ZnO. |
Materials |
Fusion Frit F-38
High strontium low alumina borosilicate flux. |
Materials |
Fusion Frit F-69
A magnesia borosilicate frit having very low thermal expansion and melting point. Commonly used as a substitute for Ferro frit 3249. |
