Brown 193 - Ready-to-Use Colored Artistic Low-Fire Glaze

Brown 193 is a ready-to-use colored low-fire glaze that produces a warm, natural, and glossy brown appearance on bisque-fired surfaces. It can be used to add color to a variety of forms, including plates, vases, sculptures, and decorative objects. The product can be prepared for spray gun, dipping, or brush application.

Technical Data and Application

Color Pairing Suggestions

The warm and natural surface effect of Brown 193 can be paired with the following tones:

Application Notes

• Surface preparation: The bisque-fired surface should be clean, dry, and free from dust before application.
• Mixing: The product should be mixed regularly before and during application to ensure even distribution of pigments and glaze components.
• Baumé adjustment: The product density should be adjusted according to the application method and checked using a suitable Baumé hydrometer.
• Spray application: When using a compressor and spray gun, preparing the product within a Baumé range of 38-40 °Bé is recommended.
• Dipping application: For dipping, preparing the product within a Baumé range of 40-42 °Bé is recommended.
• Brush application: For the standard product, the container can be left undisturbed for at least 12 hours. Water accumulated on the surface can then be carefully removed using a syringe to achieve a consistency suitable for brush application.
• 250 ml concentrated product: This option, with reduced water content and increased pigment concentration, can be applied directly by brush after thorough mixing.
• Coat application: The glaze should be applied to the surface in even coats, avoiding excessively thick or uneven areas.
• Moisture control: After application is complete, allow the surface moisture of the glaze to dissipate and place the piece in the kiln only after it has reached a suitable level of dryness.
• Cellulose use: If the dipping consistency cannot be properly adjusted, experienced users may add up to 1% cellulose to the product.
• Cellulose dissolution: Cellulose may take time to dissolve completely. Insufficiently dissolved cellulose can cause clumping in the glaze, so application should not begin until the mixture is homogeneous.
• Color transitions: The glaze can be applied as a single color, or compatible tones can be combined to create gradient surfaces and distinctive patterns.
• Underglaze decoration: Since Brown 193 may create an opaque or semi-opaque colored surface, the visibility of underglaze designs may be reduced or the designs may be completely covered.
• Overglaze decoration: After the glaze firing is complete, decoration can be applied using compatible overglaze colors. The recommended firing schedule for the selected decorating product should be followed separately.
• Glaze combinations: Before combining with other colored glazes, color transitions, chemical compatibility, and flow behavior should be tested on a sample tile.
• Safety: Appropriate personal protective equipment should be used during application, and the work area should be adequately ventilated. In case of eye contact, rinse the eyes thoroughly with plenty of water.
• Storage: Keep the product tightly sealed at room temperature and away from direct sunlight.
