Seramiksir Purple Engobe AST 601 - 175 g

Purple AST 601 is an engobe that covers the natural color of white and red clay bodies, giving the surface a deep purple, matte, opaque, and distinctive appearance. Applied to leather-hard, unfired clay, it creates a smoother surface suitable for decoration. It provides a natural matte finish on its own, while applying glaze after bisque firing can produce glossier surfaces with greater visual depth.

Application Notes

• Brush Application: Apply in even coats to leather-hard, unfired clay for localized decorations, patterns, or full-surface coverage.
• Number of Coats: As the application thickness increases, the coverage and opacity of the purple color may become stronger. Avoid excessively thick applications.
• Clay Body Selection: Suitable for use with white and red clay bodies. The color and composition of the clay body may affect the final purple tone.
• Dipping and Pouring: For dipping applications, the consistency may be adjusted by adding approximately 5-10% water when necessary. Add water gradually and in a controlled manner.
• 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.
