Cabosil
Miscellaneous
- Family: Silica
- Region: None
- Mined At: Unspecified
- Raw Mineral: No
- Generic: No
Notes
A silica fume that is condensed to become a colloidal powder. About 1% in water produces an effect called non-Newtonian viscosity. The viscosity builds up at low shear rates yet it gels. Such a material will help suspend and gel a glaze to make it easier to apply thick layers on very thin ware.
