L3617 Cornwall Stone substitute vs. real Cornwall Stone

Thursday 20th October 2011

This insight-live.com/glossary/112">melt fluidity comparison demonstrates how similar the substitute L3617 recipe (left) is to the real material (right). 20% Frit 3134 has been added to each to enable better melting at cone 5 (they do not flow even at cone 11 without the frit). This substitute is chemically equivalent to what we feel is the best average for the chemistry of Cornwall Stone.
