Blue-Green Matte Ceramic Glaze Formulation Guide

Blue-Green Matte Ceramic Glaze Formulation Guide

Blue-Green matte glaze in ceramics is one of the most challenging finishes to achieve consistently. The final appearance depends heavily on the firing curve, oxidation conditions, and raw material interactions.

This article provides a base formulation that can be used as a starting point for developing a stable blue-green matte glaze. Further fine-tuning is required based on plant conditions.

Raw Material Composition

Additives

After 10–12 hours of grinding, the residue is analyzed, and the decision to continue or stop the ball mill is taken based on the residue value.

Key Development Considerations

• Maintain consistent firing temperature and soaking time.

• Control oxidation conditions carefully during firing.

• Fine-tune stain percentage for depth of blue-green shade.

• Monitor glaze thickness during application.

Conclusion

This formulation should be used as a starting base for developing a blue-green matte glaze in ceramics applications. Due to variations in raw materials and kiln conditions, it is essential to perform plant-level trials and optimize accordingly.
