Confection of PL glaze:

The PL glaze is made of basic glaze block, PL pigment and a little additives (clay, cellulose). First, mix the components according to ratio and melt them in the kiln at the temperature that melts the normal ceramic tiles to get the curd; then grind the curd, finally mix the ground curd with PL pigment and additives, the weight ratio of pigment can be 30—50%. Do not use metal equipment during confection.

THE USAGE OF PL CERAMIC GLAZE:

This kind of PL glaze can be used for interior and floor tiles. The temperature cannot be higher than 1100oC, and 900 oC is a best choice. We would like to suggest that you had better fire it under reducing air for 40 minutes.

1.Put the PL ceramic glaze and water ( the ratio is 1:0.6—0.7)into grinding-pot, grind the glaze with water to get the glaze slurry, and then deal with the transparent glaze in the same way.
2.Screen or spray on white bare ceramic body, keep the thickness of coat more than 400um;
3.Finally screen or spray transparent ceramic glaze, checking whether there is defect in it.
4.Natural drying;
5.Fire in the kiln by quick firing.

SUGGESTS:

1.Do not grind the PL pigment with metal, otherwise the PL pigment will be polluted.
2.Do not add acid and nontransparent materials into the glaze.
3.If you find deposition during using, add 2% of baste to increase the fluidity of glaze.
4.Printing on ceramic body of heavy color will reduce the brightness of PL pigment.
