Lithium Carbonate is an inorganic compound valued for its role as a flux in ceramics and glass, as well as its importance in modern battery technology. Its ability to modify melting points and enhance thermal properties makes it indispensable in both artisanal and industrial processes.
Lithium Carbonate, in pottery, is used as a powerful flux in ceramic glazes, helping to lower the melting temperature and promote the development of smooth, glossy surfaces. Its inclusion can enhance glaze stability, reduce crazing, and improve the thermal shock resistance of ceramics, making it particularly useful for high-performance or functional pieces. Lithium carbonate also helps achieve brilliant and transparent glaze finishes, and it is often employed in specialty glazes where a high gloss or unusual color effects are desired. Its ability to influence both the aesthetic and functional qualities of ceramics makes it a valuable material for potters working at mid- to high-fire temperatures.
