A functional matte cone 6 glaze should melt as well as a glossy

Friday 26th October 2012

True insight-live.com/glossary/210">functional mattes have fluid melts, like glossy glazes. They need this in order to develop a hard, non-scratching, durable glass. The mechanism of the G1214Z1 matte on the right is high Al2O3, it is actually melting more than the glossy G1214W on the left (this was fired between cone 5 and 6, it normally runs right off the runway).
