Bone China Casting Slip
Item: BONC
Description
Very smooth, very white casting slip, translucent at 1220°C - 1240°C
Packaging: Screw top pouring container with handle.
Casting slips will thicken on standing/in storage but thin again when brought to ambient temperature and mixed thoroughly (thixotropy). However, bear in mind that deflocculant will gradually lose its electrical charge over a period of time resulting in loss of efficacy. This process is accelerated by changes in temperature, and stoneware slips with a higher clay content are most affected. This is an industry-acknowledged issue affecting all casting slips regardless of manufacturer, but it can be easily remedied by adding 3-5 drops of Sodium Dispex per 5lt of casting slip and mixing thoroughly with an electric mixer, such as a drill with paint mixer attachment.
