Sanguine Posted April 26, 2019 Report Share Posted April 26, 2019 Is it possible to store casting slip in the heat of summer in my garage? I live in TX, so temps get over 100 for weeks at a time. Would this have a deleterious effect on the performance of the deflocculant? Or anything else I am not thinking of? I guess it might grow mold, which would be pretty gross.

Lawrence (Alfred U) Journal of American Ceramic Society. @ 60F the charge on particles held in suspension drops by one third resulting in warping or irregular particle stacking. @140F the maximum zeta potential (particle charge) is obtained. application: store it and pour it.

Thanks for the info and many thanks for the application note at the end. I'm not totally up to speed on zeta potentials, so I needed the translation. You rock!

Mark C. Posted April 26, 2019 Report Share Posted April 26, 2019 Slip is just clay in more water along with the darvan so if evaporation is stopped it will be fine -just mix it well when needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
