A zinc borosilicate frit with no alumina and about 29% ZnO. Dutch recipes use it to add zinc in fritted form, for matte, crystalline and zinc-dependent colour effects. Sold by Keramikos and Cock Keramiek.
Oxide analysis and unity formula
Glazecalc has the analysis of Zinc Frit 32.22 (Keramikos) as weight percent of the raw material. The unity contribution is the moles of each oxide in the amount of Zinc Frit 32.22 (Keramikos) that holds 1.0 mole of flux, which is how Glazecalc adds it into a recipe's unity formula.
| Oxide | Weight % | Unity contribution |
|---|---|---|
| SiO₂ | 46.25 | 1.407 |
| B₂O₃ | 11.46 | 0.301 |
| ZnO | 29.38 | 0.660 |
| CaO | 2.98 | 0.097 |
| K₂O | 5 | 0.097 |
| Na₂O | 4.94 | 0.146 |
- Equivalent weight
- 182.83
- Fired weight
- 182.83
- Loss on ignition
- 0%
The equivalent weight is the grams of Zinc Frit 32.22 (Keramikos) that hold 1.0 mole of flux. The fired weight is what is left of that after firing.
Hazards and safety
Hazards: Leadless. Keramikos and Cock Keramiek state that it is not classified as hazardous. Avoid breathing the dust.
