Seramiksir Black Engobe AST 278 - 175 g

Black AST 278 is an engobe that covers the natural color of white and red clay bodies, giving the surface an intense black, matte, opaque, and modern appearance. It can be applied to leather-hard or completely dry, unfired clay. It creates a smoother surface suitable for decoration and provides a distinctive matte finish on its own. Transparent or colored glaze can be applied after bisque firing to produce glossier results with greater visual depth.

Application Notes

• Brush Application: Apply in even, consecutive coats for localized decorations, patterns, or full-surface coverage.
• Number of Coats: As the application thickness increases, the coverage and opacity of the black color may become stronger. Avoid excessively thick applications.
• Clay Body Selection: Suitable for use with white and red clay bodies. The color of the clay body may affect the final black tone.
• Dipping and Pouring: Dipping produces a more uniform, smooth surface without brush marks.
• Mixing: Mix the product thoroughly before and during application to ensure an even distribution of the engobe components.
• Storage: Store at room temperature in tightly sealed packaging, away from direct sunlight.
