Ceramic inclusion stain.

Ceramic inclusion pigments glazes stain by320 with bright red color. These ceramic stains are fritted to insure color consistency from batch to batch. Understanding the advantages of disadvantages of stains vs. Inclusion stains us pigment inclusion stains represent a new generation of inorganic high temperature stable pigments for ceramic applications.

The fired color should be almost identical to the stain in its raw state. Oxide colors is the key to choosing the best approach. Stains containing otherwise toxic oxides can be employed without significant dangers. Stains are fired blends of metal and ceramic oxides that have been reground into a fine powder.

By encasing inorganic cadmium compounds in a zirconium silicate crystal the coloring characteristics of these compounds are combined with the stability characteristics of the zirconium silicate. These stain types also known as inclusion stains or inclusion pigments are zirconium silicate with cadmium sulfoselenide crystals ca se. Mason stains can be used at all firing temperatures except tin antimony lead yellows and pinks fire only to cone 02 but are formulated specifically for use in oxidizing atmospheres. Mason colors are powdered pigments made of a combination of oxides and frits that create beautiful uniform rich colors.
