Basic Definition of Frits and Uses of Glass Frits

2024-06-25

A. What is frit?

Frit is a kind of flux in ceramic glaze, usually formulated by a variety of metal oxides mixed. It has good melting properties, can play a role in accelerating the melting of glaze at high temperatures.

Second, the role of the melt

1. Help glaze melting

The role of frit in the glaze is mainly to play the role of melting, it can accelerate the melting of glaze at high temperatures, so that the glaze is more smooth and uniform. The quality of the glaze depends largely on the melting of the glaze, and the addition of frit can effectively improve the melting performance of the glaze.

2.Enhance glaze adhesion

The frit can also enhance the glaze adhesion, so that the glaze is better attached to the body. When the glaze is melted, the frit will have a chemical reaction with the glaze to form a strong and firm compound, which makes the glaze more firmly attached to the carcass and not easy to fall off.

3. Improve glaze density and water resistance

The addition of frit can also improve the density and water resistance of the glaze, preventing the glaze from cracking and cracking. The higher the glaze density, the better the water resistance and stain resistance, which has better practical value in daily life.

Precautions

1. The amount of frit added should be appropriate, excessive or insufficient will affect the quality of the glaze.

2. Different types of ceramic glaze need different frits, it is recommended to consult professionals when buying frits.

3. The melting block must be fully mixed when preparing the glaze to ensure that each part is fully melted and reacted.

[Conclusion

In general, the role of frit in ceramic glaze is very important, it can help the glaze to melt effectively at high temperature, improve the density and water resistance of the glaze, enhance the adhesion of the glaze, and improve the quality and practicality of ceramic glaze. Therefore, in the ceramic glaze preparation process to select the appropriate melt, and reasonable addition, is a key step in the production of high-quality ceramic products.
