Buff Casting Slip

Buff Earthenware/Stoneware Casting Slip 1100°C-1290°C

Packaging: Screw top pouring container with handle. 

Manufactured to a specific gravity of 1.7-1.8 and is correctly deflocculated ready for use. 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.
