Calcium Zircon Silicate

CALCIUM ZIRCONIUM SILICATE

Chemistry

CaO23.430
ZrO251.460
SiO225.100

Miscellaneous

Notes

Used in high fire glazes as the sole opacifier. It can be blended with other zirconium products for special finishes.

This is an ideal opacifier for use in chrome-tin pink and maroon glazes since the calcium help enhance the color.
