Aware of how complex the problems related to the world of chemistry applied to ceramic production processes can be, we want to share our knowledge with those who want to orient themselves or train for passion or profession. Through a simple and direct language, the podcast aims to be an educational space with a focus on products, applications and processes. The journey unfolds along the ceramic production lines. At each stage a topic. At each topic a critical issue. At each critical issue, when possible, a solution.

Melting materials and ceramic production: what they are and what they are for
Melting materials used in ceramics, often in glazes and digital glues, are capable of lowering the melting point of a material or compound, thus accelerating the sintering process.
This action, which occurs through the breaking of the molecular structure of the compound (in our case, silica) by certain ions, affects several factors and must be carefully calibrated each time to achieve the desired result.
Some of the areas influenced by this process include the grit application, the glossy or matte finish of the surface, interaction with colors, and energy savings.
How do these materials (such as sodium, potassium, zinc, calcium, boron, etc.) work within the suspensions they are added to, and how does this action reflect on the final ceramic material?
