Premium Potassium Carbonate (K₂CO₃) – High-Purity Ceramic Flux & Glaze Essential
Elevate your glazes to new heights of vibrancy and flow with our ultra-pure Potassium Carbonate – the dynamic, high-strength alkali flux favored by professional potters, tile makers, and studio artists for breathtaking results.
✨ Unparalleled Flow & Color Response
Delivers smooth, glossy melts with exceptional fluidity, creating silky surfaces and enhanced depth in transparent and semi-transparent glazes. A powerhouse for intensifying blues (especially cobalt and copper), turquoises, and vibrant greens that pop with life.
🔥 Strong High-Temperature Alkali Flux
More soluble and reactive than sodium carbonate, providing superior melting power from mid-range (cone 4–6) up to high-fire porcelain (cone 10+). Expands firing range, reduces crazing, and promotes even, bubble-free results.
🌟 Versatile Studio & Industrial Applications
Perfect for fluid art glazes, majolica, and runny decorative effects
Essential in frit production and low-expansion bodies
Boosts color development in crystalline and volcanic glazes
Key ingredient in traditional wood ash glaze approximations
♻️ Technical-Grade Purity & Consistency
99.5%+ minimum purity, fine hydrated powder for rapid and complete dissolution. Extremely low iron, heavy metals, and insolubles ensure clean, predictable outcomes every firing. Food-contact compliant and responsibly sourced.
Ideal for:
High-fire porcelain and stoneware glazes
Vibrant copper reds and turquoise effects
Fluid, glossy tableware and decorative pieces
Frit and enamel formulations
A small addition of potassium carbonate can transform stiff, dull glazes into flowing masterpieces that captivate collectors and judges alike.
