Manufacturing process
- Weigh and mix the batch of constituents including selected colour oxides.
- Perform calcination of the batch in a crucible at 1000° C to 1300°C in an oil or electrically heated furnace.
- Wash the calcined batch and perform fine grinding by wet milling.
- For overglaze colours, melt a glass flux into frit, mix with stain, and grind via wet milling followed by drying and sieving.
- For underglaze colours, calcine glass flux at 1150°C-1200°C and process similarly to overglaze colours.
