Seramiksir S 2022 Safir - Artistic Low-Fire Glaze (R26014)

S 2022 Safir - Artistic Low-Fire Glaze

S 2022 Safir is an artistic low-fire glaze that develops white and blue mineral particles over black and midnight blue tones. Thin applications emphasize a dark, nearly black surface, while thicker areas may shift toward midnight blue and develop more intense variegated effects. Its glossy and semi-transparent character creates a deep and layered color appearance across the surface.

Application Notes

• Thin application: Dark tones close to black and obsidian may become more prominent.
• Thick application: The color may shift toward midnight blue, while the variegated transitions across the surface may become more intense.
• Particle concentration: The visibility of the white and blue mineral particles may increase as application thickness increases.
• Mixing: The product should be stirred regularly before and during application to prevent the particles from settling and to ensure even distribution across the surface.
• Coat control: Each coat should be allowed to dry sufficiently before the next application, and excessive glaze buildup on the surface should be avoided.
• Consistency adjustment: For spraying or dipping applications, water should be added gradually and in a controlled manner to avoid over-thinning the product.
• Clay body selection: Due to its semi-transparent character, the color of the clay body may affect the final appearance of the black and midnight blue tones.
• Combination: Before combining with other glazes, chemical compatibility, color transitions, and flow behavior should be tested on a test tile.
• Care: Hand washing is recommended to preserve the glossy finish and artistic particle effect.
• Safety: Appropriate personal protective equipment should be used during application, and the work area should be adequately ventilated.
• Storage: Keep the container tightly closed and away from direct sunlight. If settling, drying, or thickening occurs, mix thoroughly before application and strain if necessary.
