Frit 3134 consists of sodium, calcium and boron and is typically used in both transparent and opaque glazes. (also see Fusion Frit F-12 as a replacement - linked below.
C$8.15
Gerstley Borate is a sodium-calcium-borate compound used in ceramics as a low and mid-range temperature flux. It is essentially a source of boron in glazes, and acts as a melting agent. It also can act somewhat as an opacifier and prevent crazing.
C$27.00
This is a kaolin with intermediate particle size distribution. It contains low Fe2O3 and TiO2 content for applications where fired colour is critical. It has also proven useful in glaze applications.
C$12.00
HG is a Soda Feldspar; Substitute for Minspar 200. It is composed of crystalline minerals made up of mainly of alkaline silicates. It is used in clay bodies to promote vitrification and in cone 6-10 glazes as an inexpensive glass-former.
C$6.50
Silica (Flint) 400 Mesh is a purified version of this much used material of glaze and claybody formulation. In clay and glazes, Flint provides the melting, or glassifying agents in a claybody that allow the material to fuse together.
C$14.25
Tin Oxide is the most effective opacifier to produce even, opaque, glossy glazes. Traditionally used as a white glaze stain, glazes opacified with tin may flash pink in kiln atmospheres where chromium is present.
C$31.40
"NEW SUPPLIER! Please Test Under your own conditions." When applied on greenware or bisque as a method of decoration, "resists" application of glaze, slip and underglaze.
C$8.75
Spodumene (substitute) is a silicate mineral often referred to as lithium feldspar. Commonly used in ceramics as a source of lithia which is used as a powerful flux especially when used with potash and soda feldspars.
C$94.15
Hydro-Stone® Gypsum Cement is especially suitable where high strength and resistance to water absorption are necessary. It is ideal for applications in both the tooling & prototyping and art & statuary categories.
C$50.00
Nepheline Syenite has been a used in the ceramic industry for many years, and is known for the whiteness it imparts to clay bodies and increasing low to mid cone glaze firing ranges.
C$10.40
Cobalt Carbonate is a fine particled lavender powder used as a colorant in glazes and slips. Very stable and reliable. Produces various shades of blue when used alone and will produce the same shades of blue when used in almost every type of glaze.
C$74.10
Bentonite is a fine powder that is a grey-tan color. As typical for ceramic use, this is a sodium bentonite and is a common additive to both glaze and clay. Use in small percentages to aid clay body plasticity and glaze suspension.
C$9.85
On paper, Fusion F-12 has a very similar chemistry to 3134.
C$8.15
Mulcoa Kaolin Grog 20 Mesh is a coarse-grained calcined mullite grog. This grog can be added to throwing and sculpture clay bodies to increase working strength and reduce shrinkage as well as an aid in drying thick pieces.
C$22.00
Whiting is the most common source of calcium in glazes. It is a high temperature flux which gives durability and hardness to glazes. Whiting is the commonly-used name for Calcium Carbonate.
C$9.35
Titanium Dioxide is a glaze opacifier that is also a well-known white pigment. Titanate crystallization on cooling can lead to unique variegated surfaces.
C$26.60
Zinc Oxide (Calcined) is a useful, high temperature flux. It increases the maturing range of glazes and produces glossy colors (brightens copper and cobalt colours but may dull others). Higher amounts are used in zinc matte and zinc crystalline glazes.
C$13.20
Silicon Carbide is a reduction agent used in glazes. It can be used to make crater glazes. Silicon Carbide can also can be added to clay bodies to give black speckling.
C$26.40
Old Mine #4 Ball Clay (OM #4, OM4) is a fine-grained ball clay with excellent plasticity and strength. Old Mine #4 is an "industry standard" based on its popularity in both casting and plastic formed bodies. Also widely used as a suspension aid in glazes.
