Description

Flint (Damp/Dry) is a versatile product that offers a white firing appearance and aids in maintaining the desired shape when fired. Flint doesn't melt until it reaches 1700c so is used to create a structure which the other ingredients can bond with. 

Used in conjunction with feldspar and clay to make a balanced ceramic body. 

As a glaze addition, it can increase thermal expansion for a better fit. In order for glaze to performance most effectively it has to have a lower thermal expansion than the clay body. Flint puts the glaze under compression after firing to create a much more robust finished product. 

Flint is a form of silica and is produced by calcining flint pebbles to around 1000 degrees to remove impurities. Flint pebbles are Offers a white firing appearance and if often added to clay bodies to boost the silica content and make a clay body more refractory. 

Flint is used to raising the temperature of clay bodies when firing. It has a melting point of around 1700 degrees.
