Nepheline

Nepheline is a natural flux used to lower the melting temperature of pastes and glazes. Its high sodium and potassium content promotes vitrification, improving mechanical strength and reducing the porosity of the pieces. In glazes, it helps achieve bright and smooth surfaces, optimizing the melting of the components. It is also used in the manufacture of porcelain and stoneware, allowing for better integration of materials without compromising thermal stability. Its use is key to achieving high-quality finishes with lower energy consumption in the ceramic process.
