Basalt 175 Gr S 1624 - Artistic Ceramic Glaze (R26011)

S 1624 - Basalt Artistic Ceramic Glaze

S 1624 Basalt takes its name from the dignified and timeless texture of volcanic rocks, and the thin layer of ash falling onto cooled lava. Characteristic white granules on its surface create an artistic depth over a misty grey base. Offering a foggy greyness in thin applications and a deep smoky tone in thicker ones, this reactive glaze promises a flawless aesthetic for modern and industrial forms.

• Thin Application: Lighter, foggy, and serene grey effects come to the forefront.
• Thick Application: The glaze becomes saturated, taking on smoky grey tones and rich variegated transitions.
• Granular Structure: White granules on the surface intensify according to the application thickness, giving the piece a natural stone texture.

Care, Safety, and Storage

• Maintenance: High temperatures and chemicals in dishwashers may cause matting or loss of artistic effects on the glaze surface; hand washing is recommended.
• Safety: Protective equipment should be used during application, keep away from fire sources, and children should apply under supervision.
• Storage: Store airtight and away from direct sunlight. If the product dries out over time, add water and strain before use.
• Shelf Life: Stabilizers may lose effect over time after opening. This usually doesn't affect firing results but may impact application comfort and drying performance.
