Ferro Frit CC-265

Description: Alkaline earth alumina borosilicate

Notes

Fritted source of calcium. Lagunaclay.com says: "Similar to CC254, but without the barium. Primarily use in floor tile glazes."
Used with other frits for cone 06 to 1.
Works well for satins and chrome tin colors because of the high CaO.
