Notes
CaCl2 5H2O
Used as a suspending agent in glazes. It works well with bentonite.
Small additions (.1-.3%) to glaze slurries also produce gelling qualities that make it easier to apply coatings of even thickness. Vinegar has a similar effect although calcium chloride is said to work better. This material is the key to being able to apply a glaze to non-porous porcelain bisque ware.
Calcium chloride is used on sidewalks as an ice-melter in cold climates.
