Ceraline Low-Fire Wax Crayons

Ceraline Crayons are a new and exciting medium formulated to impart colored surfaces to ceramics. The crayons unique feature combines ceramic stains and metallic coloring oxides in a wax base which can be used to decorate ceramic surfaces. They can be applied to bisque in any number of imaginative ways from simple line drawings to applications of wide areas of color. They impart vibrant color, which is indelible and will not "dust" or rub off during applications.
Each crayon is 5.75" long and can be fired from cone 05 to 03. Ceraline crayons can be fired to higher temperatures, but colors will vary.
 

Ceraline Crayons are noted for their "Cloisonn" effect, offering a true pigment barrier liner for any glaze. The glaze field is broken by the glaze repellent colored crayon.

Color:

CERALINE : A new ornamental wax crayon!

CERALINE? wax crayons are made with a base of hydrocarbons and vitrificators. As the minerals are embedded within the hydrocarbons, your health will benefit because no substantial particles will be disengaged, unlike other known crayons.

Application

CERALINE? wax crayons can be applied on any ceramic surface to create lines. Colouring figures, however, is not recommanded. The anti-flux character and a shortage of vitrificators make the result, after the oxidization condition, more like a sinter slip than a glaze.

At present there are two versions available:

-          SK 02a intended to be used at low temperatures, proper to earthenware.

-          SK 7 intended to be used at high temperatures, proper to stoneware and porcelain.

However, the earthenware version can be used at higher temperatures with different results as the created line will fan out slightly during the process.

The colour will remain unchanged in oxidizing conditions.

CERALINE? wax crayons offer many advantages

?         Your created decoration is indelible as it was sealed down.

?         In contrast with pencils and chalk crayons, you can apply a covering glaze or slip over CERALINE? without masking it.

?         Because of its excellent water-repelling qualities, you can fill up with underglazes and glazes much quicker and more accurately.

?         The anti-flux character of CERALINE? prevents the overflow of the contiguous glaze when firing.

?         The CERALINE? wax crayons save time, offer multiple artistic capabilities and guarantee unsurmounted results.
