Hydrated Alumine

Hydrated alumina is a material primarily used as an opacifier in glazes, providing white and satin finishes. It also acts as a flame retardant in some formulations and improves the thermal and mechanical resistance of ceramic pieces. Its use in glazes helps control viscosity and suspension stability, preventing defects such as running or separation of components. Additionally, in the manufacture of refractories, it contributes to increasing resistance to thermal shock. It is a versatile material that optimizes the quality and performance of ceramic creations in earthenware, stoneware, and porcelain.
