S-2000 Crystal Clear Dipping Glaze
Product Code:1M3S2000
Functionally, clear glazes form an impervious barrier that protects against liquids, dirt and abrasion. Aesthetically, clear glazes provide a gloss finish over top of colored glaze decoration. Dipping glazes differ from brushing versions as they contain fewer organic additives, making the dipping glazes less viscous than brushing formulas. They allow for quick and efficient glazing on large pieces or a large number of pieces. The amount of glaze deposited on bisque is primarily a function of glaze viscosity and the amount of time the bisque is left in the glaze – careful attention to these two details are critical for obtaining satisfactory results.
Ideal for large quantities of pieces, S-2000 offers the same clarity as NT-CLR but contains fewer additives and is therefore thinner than NT-CLR. This glaze has a higher coefficient of expansion (higher thermal expansion) and is more tolerant of high expansion bodies. It contains a light-blue dye helping to see where the glaze was applied. Gaining experience with specific clays or bisque bodies and monitoring firing results, will help to define which clear glaze is the best one to use.
Cone: 06-05
Finish: Transparent, Gloss
Dinnerware Safe: Yes (When properly applied and fired to proper cone)
