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
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
Silica (Flint) 200 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$11.30
Alberta Slip duplicates the firing properties of Albany Slip and is an excellent base for many types of glazes.
C$9.75
Feldspar Potash (Custer) is one of the primary feldspars used in ceramics. G200 EU is a 1:1 substitute for G200 in glaze recipes.
C$8.40
This is a ceramic grade calcined Rutile, typically used when called for in glaze recipes. Rutile, a tan colourant containing a small amount of iron, is a natural source of titanium dioxide used in glazes.
C$23.65
Ravenscrag Slip is a silty low iron clay, it applies evenly, drains drip-free, dries hard, does not settle. Mixed with water alone, makes a nice semi-matte cone 10 clear glaze.
C$6.80
Silica (Flint) Sand 75 Mesh is often used in clay bodies instead of grog. It also can be useful to reduce body firing shrinkage. Silica sand can be used to diminish friction on kiln shelves to enable ware to move while shrinking to prevent sticking.
C$16.55
Dolomite is a type of milled limestone that is a useful source of both calcium and magnesium in ceramic glazes.
C$10.90
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
Fabi Talc is both white in it’s raw state, and in it’s fired colour. Talc is an hydrated magnesium silicate, its crystals are thin and lamellar forming. Talc can be found in various grades, different by purity, colour and lamellarity.
C$17.15
Veegum, or VeeGum T (or VGT) is not a 'gum', rather it is a refined fine particle mineral called 'smectite'. In glazes VGT is used as an in-mix suspending agent and surface hardener. Also suitable for use as a spray-on surface hardener before decorating.
C$65.00
Gillespie Borate is a blended borate material designed for use in glazes to replace Gerstley Borate. It has been on the market for over 20 years.
C$13.95
Hydrocal® White Gypsum Cement (Plaster) offers twice the compressive strength of other plasters. Stiffening rate very rapid after setting action begins.
C$60.00
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
Wollastonite is a natural calcium silicate used to reduce shrinkage in clay bodies and glazes during firing. Can aid in the fast firing of clay bodies and can be employed to replace silica and whiting.
C$10.35
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
Feldspar Potash (Custer) is one of the primary feldspars used in ceramics. Mahavir has been found to be a good substitute for Custer, however, as with any raw material change in a recipe, please test first.
C$8.40
Magnesium Sulphate, also known as Epsom Salts, is a flocculant and can be used to thicken a glaze to improve adhesion to non-porous surfaces. Also acts as a suspension agent in slip or glazes. Adding too much can have an adverse effect.
C$8.35
Cornwall Stone is a low iron feldspar material used primarily as a flux in clay bodies and glazes. It is popular in engobes for its adhesive power during and after firing and in glazes for its low shrinkage and minimal contribution to defects.
C$19.70
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
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
Macaloid is geologically and chemically similar to Bentonite. Used as a suspension agent in glazes, Macaloid can increase the drying rate of water suspended glazes.
