The source of raw materials for enamel frit, including minerals, rocks, clays and various chemicals. These raw materials have played different roles in the enamel frit. Before, we briefly popularized some such as "Application of Clay in Enamel", "Application of Sodium Nitrite in Enamel", "Application of Borax in Enamel", etc. To the fans private message consultation: What is the role of lithium carbonate in enamel frit?

Lithium carbonate, molecular formula Li2CO3, molecular weight is 73.88, specific gravity is 2.11, melting point is 618°C, appearance is colorless monoclinic crystal or white powder, and its solubility in cold water is greater than that in hot water. It is soluble in acid, slightly soluble in water, and insoluble in acetone acetate.

Lithium carbonate acts as a flux in the enamel frit, which is used to reduce the firing temperature of the enamel and increase the fluidity. It also plays the same role as borax, boric acid, sodium carbonate, sodium nitrate, fluorite, Sodium fluorosilicate, sodium fluoroaluminate, sodium fluoroaluminate, etc. When it is used as a grinding additive, it is used as an electrolyte to increase the adhesion of the enamel slurry, and at the same time, it can improve the gloss and fineness of the enamel surface.
