Ben xyz Posted June 8, 2023 Report Share Posted June 8, 2023 Had been told once that one brand of stain was better for cool colors (blues, etc) and the other for warmer shades (red, etc). Can't remember which was which. Experience? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Min Posted June 8, 2023 Report Share Posted June 8, 2023 It's my understanding that the cadmium inclusion stains are all made offshore in India or China due to environmental regs in other countries. Where Mason gets their Cd stains from compared to the unbranded ones from US Pigments or other suppliers isn't something I've read about. I don't have enough experience with Cd stains to make a comparison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A search for degussa inclusion stains found a lot of sales material, and a reference to a page on digitalfire's informative site. Which provided a partial answerhttps://digitalfire.com/glossary/ceramic+stainStain product brand names can be confusing. This happens when one company buys another and continues to support the product names and numbers of the former company. As an example, the German Degussa company spun off its ceramic color business as Cerdec in 1993. They later bought Drakenfeld Colors (of Washington, PA). In 2001 Ferro USA bought Cerdec. So that means that any stain labelled as any of these three companies is actually a Ferro product now. So looking for evidence of this I looked for an SDS sheet, because they usually provide the manufacturers name.https://www.theceramicshop.com/product/14116/degussa-stain-orange-1lb/The Ceramic shop sells Degussa Stain, Orange 1lb, but the SDS sheet starts with Edited June 11, 2023 by PeterH Ben xyz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
