• Consistency:  Manufactured from high-purity refined raw materials, this product is highly consistent from batch to batch.
• Oxide Match:  Virtually identical to Gerstley Borate, this product requires no adjustment to the formula, and no extra additives are needed.
• Mineral Match:  GB provides the same minerals to the glaze as Gerstley Borate, thus imparting the same glaze activity, texture, and effects.
• Particle Size Match:  A 200 mesh material, GB combines well with other glaze raw materials.
• Plasticity Match:  A high colloid and clay content gives the plasticity necessary for many applications.
• Reduced Glaze Defects: Laboratory studies indicate that GB gives increased glaze surface smoothness and a reduction in crawling and pinhole defects.
• Lower In Off-Color Impurities:  As a refined blended material, GB contains few impurities and produces brighter glazes and colors.
