Oxide analysis and unity formula

Glazecalc has the analysis of Titanium Oxide as moles of each fired oxide per formula. The unity contribution is the moles of each oxide in the amount of Titanium Oxide that holds 1.0 mole of flux, which is how Glazecalc adds it into a recipe's unity formula.

Titanium Oxide has no flux oxide, so its unity contribution is per formula as written.

Loss on ignition
0%

The equivalent weight is the grams of Titanium Oxide that hold 1.0 mole of flux. The fired weight is what is left of that after firing.

Hazards and safety

Hazards: Not classified under EU rules (KRONOS SDS, non-pigmentary grade; CTM SDS 26 agrees); avoid breathing the dust.

Glazecalc shows the hazard wording as its record gives it. It is not a full risk assessment, so read the safety data sheet from your supplier. Before you handle any glaze material, read Safe mixing and ventilation and Glaze safety at home.

Use it in a recipe

Add Titanium Oxide to a recipe in the Glazecalc calculator to see what it does to a glaze's unity formula.
