REFSAN LEAD OXIDE (LITHARGE)
REFSAN LEAD OXIDE (LITHARGE)
  • LEAD (II) OXIDE (PbO)
  • Lead promotes low expansion, a long firing range, and it decreases viscosity and tendency to devitrify.
  • It gives a yellowish color to transparent glazes.
  • When it uses Zinc Oxides and silicium, the solubility of Lead Oxide increases.
  • Makes soften the glaze, and increases the tensile strength
  • It decreases the viscosity of glaze
  • When the mix with alkalines, decreases the thermal expansion of the glaze
  • It makes highly bright the glaze because of its index of refraction is high
  • Because of that, it uses usually for artistic glaze and decorative objects
