| Abstract |
| The most important point of whitening frit glazes is the elimination of transperancy. For that purpose, opacifiers are
used. In this work, the effect of Ag2O additive on colour variation and gloss of a white opaque glaze, used commonly
in ceramic ware production, were investigated at the temperatures of 1040o, 1090o and 1140oC. It was found that
colour and gloss of an opaque glaze did not vary significantly with Ag2O addition. Furthermore, Ag2O addition was
found to be a viable alternative for reducing the sintering temperature of opaque glaze from 1090o to 1040oC.
