THE USE of BLACK COLORANT OBTAINED from DOMESTIC SOURCES in LEADED and BORON GLAZES

Abstract

In this study, the usability of the black colorant obtained by mixing of MHP composite produced from laterittic nickel, chromite and magnetite ores in certain proportions, in boron and leaded glazes was investigated. Prepared black colorant was added to leaded and boron glaze in varying proportions. The color properties of the colored glazes were measured by spectrophotometer and their values are expressed as “L * a * b *”. It has been determined that the color values of this colorant used in leaded and boron glazes are quite similar to commercially used black pigments. As a result, black colorants with high added value were produced with the use of domestic resources and positive results were obtained in their use in leaded and boron glazes.
