China Clay for Ceramic Glazes Qty: 1kg

China clay, also known as kaolinite, plays a crucial role in ceramic glaze formulations. As a clay mineral with the chemical formula Al2Si2O5, it offers unique properties that contribute to the quality and performance of ceramic glazes.

In ceramic glazes, china clay serves several essential functions. Firstly, its fine particle size and plasticity help to suspend other glaze ingredients evenly, preventing settling and ensuring a smooth consistency. This ensures uniform application and coverage on ceramic surfaces.

Secondly, china clay acts as a binding agent, helping to adhere the glaze to the ceramic body during firing. This promotes good adhesion and reduces the risk of glaze defects such as crawling or flaking.

Additionally, china clay contributes to the texture and appearance of the glazed surface. Its presence can influence the glossiness, opacity, and overall visual characteristics of the glaze, allowing ceramic artists to achieve a wide range of aesthetic effects.

Overall, china clay is indispensable in ceramic glaze formulation, providing essential properties that enhance the workability, adhesion, and appearance of the glaze layer on ceramic ware.
