Kaolin
Product Benefits
- Reduces the thermal dilatation of either engobe and glaze in order to match the dilation of the ceramic body
- White firing colour that allows the usage of Zsircon inside the engobe formulation to be minimized
- Al2O3 carrier: during the glass formation Al2O3 oxide interacts with other oxide and stabilizes the glass characteristics of the final glaze surface.
