Role in ceramic glaze:
1.Thickening effect
Because nepheline itself has crystalline quality, it can increase the viscosity and rheology of ceramic glaze, make the glaze more easily coated on the ceramic surface, and improve the adhesion of the glaze layer.
2. Anti-precipitation effect
Nepheline can effectively prevent the precipitation of solid particles in the ceramic glaze, maintain the uniformity and stability of the glaze, thus improving the quality of the glaze and the surface gloss of the ceramic products.
3. Whitening effect
Nepheline has a white or off-white color, which can effectively improve the whiteness and light transmission of ceramic products, making ceramic products look more beautiful.
4. Adjust glaze rheology
In ceramic glazes, due to the different proportions and characteristics of various components, the rheological properties of glazes will also be different. Nepheline can adjust the rheology of the glaze, so that the glaze has better pressing and fluidity, so that it is not easy to produce cracks and bubbles and other defects.
