Mason Stain 6000 Shell Pink
🎨 Color and Composition
Color: Light, dusty pink.
Chemical Composition: This stain is a reaction product of high-temperature calcination involving:
Calcium Oxide (CaO)
Tin Oxide (SnO₂)
Silicon Dioxide (SiO₂)
Chromium(III) Oxide (Cr₂O₃)
These components form a crystalline matrix of tin sphene. Modifiers like B₂O₃ and PbO may also be present.
🔥 Firing Range and Stability
Firing Temperature: Suitable for use from Cone 06 (approx. 999°C) up to Cone 12 (approx. 1,300°C).
Atmosphere: Best results are achieved in an oxidizing atmosphere.
Glaze Compatibility:
High calcium content in the glaze enhances color development.
Avoid zinc and magnesia, as they can adversely affect the pink hue.
Excessive boron can lead to milky or muted colors.
🧪 Usage Recommendations
Applications: Can be incorporated into glazes, slips, underglazes, or directly into clay bodies.
Concentration: Typically used at 8–10% by weight for vivid coloration.
Glaze Considerations: When applying over a glaze, it's recommended to use a zinc-free clear glaze to maintain the integrity of the pink shade.
⚠️ Important Notes
Lead Content: Mason Stain 6000 is lead-free.
Testing: Always conduct test firings to ensure desired results, as final color can vary based on glaze composition, firing atmosphere, and temperature.
Do not use zinc in host glaze. Glaze must contain 6.7-8.4% CaO.
Mason Stains are a mixture of metallic oxides that produce consistent colors when fired. They are useful for coloring glazes, slips, or clay. The color outcome depends on factors such as glaze type and composition, firing temperature, and firing atmosphere. The amount of stain required varies from 1% to 15%, depending on the desired color depth. You can also use these stains for brush decoration when mixed with a frit like Ferro 3124. Most stains maintain their color up to 1260°C (2300°F) in both oxidation and reduction firing. However, some colors, like purple, pink, and yellow, may undergo changes at high temperatures or in reduction atmospheres, so it's always a good idea to test them for stability.
Chrome Tin Pink Sphene, an inorganic pigment, is a reaction product of high temperature calcination in which Calcium (II) Oxide, Tin (IV) Oxide, Silicon (IV) Oxide, and Chromium (III) Oxide in varying amounts are homogeneously and ionically interdiffused to form a crystalline matrix of tin sphene. Its composition may include either or both of the modifiers B2O3 and PbO.
