S 1621 Effect Red - Artistic Low-Fire Glaze

S 1621 Effect Red is an artistic low-fire glaze that creates deep red tones, metallic highlights, and reactive surface movement at low firing temperatures. It develops its characteristic red appearance between 800°C - 850°C but may shift to green tones when the firing temperature reaches 1040°C. Depending on application thickness and firing conditions, it creates varied, bold, and eye-catching surfaces.

Application Notes

• Preparation: Mix the product thoroughly before application until a uniform consistency is achieved.
• Brush Application: The glaze can be applied directly to a clean, dry bisque surface. Allow the surface to dry between coats.
• Dipping and Spray Application: Depending on the application method, 5-10% water may be added gradually and in a controlled manner.
• Firing Temperature: Maintain a firing range of 800°C - 850°C to preserve the red appearance. Higher temperatures may completely alter the color and surface character of the glaze.
• Thermal Transformation: Be aware that the glaze may shift to green tones when the firing temperature reaches 1040°C.
• Metallic Character: As application thickness increases, the metallic highlights and reactive surface movement may become more pronounced.
• Clay Body Selection: Different clay colors may alter the red and metallic appearance, as well as the green tones produced at higher temperatures.
• Flow Control: A test tile is recommended before use, particularly on vertical forms, to observe glaze movement and its response to temperature.
• Storage: Store the product tightly sealed at room temperature, away from direct sunlight, and protect it from freezing.
