Technical Production Note: White Low-Temperature Fayance
Material Profile:
This body is a specialized low-temperature white stoneware (fayance), engineered for high stability and aesthetic purity. It is specifically formulated for low-fire applications, incorporating Lithium to optimize thermal performance, durability, and safety.
Key Specifications:
Firing Temperature: 1080°C
Body Type: White Fayance / Low-Temperature Stoneware
Fluxing Agent: Lithium-based (e.g., Spodumene or Lithium Carbonate)
Safety Rating: Food Safe & Dishwasher Safe
Compliance: Eco-Friendly & Human-Safe Formulation
Technical Characteristics:
Eco-Friendly & Sustainable: Formulated with a commitment to environmental responsibility. The lower firing temperature (1080°C) reduces energy consumption compared to high-fire stoneware, significantly lowering the carbon footprint of production.
Human-Safe Composition: This body is free from harmful heavy metals and toxic additives. It is designed to be non-hazardous for both the artisan during the making process and the end-user.
Thermal Stability: The addition of Lithium ensures high resistance to thermal shock, allowing the body to withstand the rigors of a dishwasher cycle without cracking.
Maturation: At 1080°C, the body achieves optimal density and low porosity, which is essential for maintaining hygiene and food safety standards.
Usage Recommendations:
Glaze Compatibility: To maintain the eco-friendly and human-safe integrity of the piece, it is recommended to use lead-free and cadmium-free glazes.
Durability: The lithium-reinforced matrix provides enhanced mechanical strength, making the finished pieces resilient for daily use.
Firing Schedule: A controlled soak at the 1080°C peak ensures full vitrification, minimizing moisture absorption and ensuring a long-lasting, sustainable product.
Applications: Perfect for ethical brands and artisans focusing on high-quality functional tableware, kitchenware, and lifestyle ceramics that prioritize the well-being of people and the planet.
