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
Soda Ash (Sodium Carbonate), a fine granular material, is an active flux and also serves an important function as a deflocculant used to thin slips and slurries. It increases strength and workability and reduces shrinkage.
C$11.25
Petalite, a lithium feldspar with a high silica content, is used both in glazes and clay bodies to help decrease thermal shock.
C$15.75
Kyanite is a grog with low thermal expansion and when added to clay bodies can reduce stress from dry shrinkage.
C$22.00
Granular Ilmenite is an iron titanium oxide mineral and can be used in small amounts to produce dark brown specks in clay bodies and certain specialized glazes.
C$9.40
Mulcoa Kaolin Grog 35 Mesh is a medium-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
Alumina Calcined is an intermediate oxide used to stabilize fluxes and glass formers that compose glazes affecting mattness and brilliance. Adds strength and prevents devitrification.
C$15.95
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
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
Kyanite is a grog with low thermal expansion and when added to clay bodies can reduce stress from dry shrinkage.
C$23.10
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
Boric Acid is a water-soluble boron mineral. Boric Acid is used as a B2O3 source in the formulation of frits and glazes.
C$4.55
Iron Chromate is used in glazes to produce gray (with feldspar), brown (with zinc), red (with tin) or black depending on the base glaze and percentage and other colouring oxides present. Often used in underglazes, engobes and clay bodies.
