Grade: Industrial Ceramic Frits, 50 Kg

Frit is a ceramic composition formed by fusing inorganic materials into a glass by heating them in smelters and quenching them in water. This process, known as “fritting was developed to render any soluble and/or toxic components insoluble and/or nontoxic. Further benefits of fritting include the elimination of chemically combined water from the ingredients; reduction of the melting point of the fritted materials versus that of the individual components; and simplification of the glaze or bond system by reducing the number of materials in the formula.
Frit is used in a variety of industries. For example, in the ceramic whiteware industry it is used as a glaze component. In the glass decorating industry, it is used as a flux in the formulation of ceramic colors. In the abrasives and refractory industries, frit is employed as a bonding agent. In the solar energy industry, it is incorporated into the ink and pastes used to make solar panels.
