Glazes are the protective coatings that make ceramics safe and useful. Without the fired surfaces, the ware would not be able to hold water or be safe for food. The many types and textures of glazes that Mayco offers are almost endless - from bright, shiny reds to soft pastels, metallic gold to satiny, rich black. Mayco is committed to bringing the latest technology and safest products to market for the discerning consumer. All of Mayco colors are tested independently by a toxicologist to insure that they meet or exceed the government's strictest standards.) V$ ^6 ?! ~3 Y8 X$ e6 X
There are some terms that the consumer needs to know when choosing a glaze for any finished piece. These terms let the user know the characteristics of the glaze - whether it is shiny or dull, transparent or opaque, safe to use on utility items or for decorative items only. Reading the label is the best way to insure that you have selected the correct product for your technique and piece.
) {& O$ f' O: U; `
; ^/ u8 |( w6 M/ ~) NThe jar label should be read each time that you use a product. At times raw materials may change or become obsolete. In order to continue producing a specific color, changes to the formula may be required. The label will have the most up to date information concerning your safety and that of the piece you produce.
9 e& L8 [7 E: N7 n; }* @2 Q' C9 s6 R( J$ B- s
Surface: The first category for glazes deals with the surface shine. The following terms will help you understand the labels more clearly and will allow you to make the best choice of products for great looking results. Some glazes fall in between all of these groups. Some glazes even have tiny specks or granules of a contrasting or complimenting color floating in them.* Z+ C( Z  ?& A+ h! K( d

. I6 w4 |& p" _- x+ B3 g% a3 O2 XGloss- Shiny and smooth, bright high gloss and a highly reflective surface.
8 k& j; a% q2 g& WSatin- Not really shiny, but not dull either. Think of an eggshell or a satiny sheen.
/ ^# X# |: A  sMatte- The opposite of gloss. This surface is duller than satin, reflecting little shine.
2 @/ z5 C( {0 l; a2 P: j* S0 x. bDead Matte- Even duller than matte. This surface reflects no light.$ ?3 x. O" e1 G0 b
Opacity- Refers to the transparency of the glaze. Some glazes are so transparent that it's like placing a clear piece of glass on top of the ware. These clear glazes can act like a magnifying glass on top of the ceramic surface or on top of underglazes. Some glaze colors are nearly opaque and others totally so.
- e4 V" t8 s- P5 STHE CODES AND DEFINITIONS FOR THE OPACITY OF GLAZES ARE:
+ h6 @0 ^% P0 V( j& F& {9 q+ i8 y6 L4 J5 H2 S* x
C: Clear- The glaze is completely clear, adding only a shiny, wet look and bringing out the true underlying colors on the piece.
2 [6 k! {2 I; V$ oT: Transparent- The color underneath is slightly tinted by the overlying glaze changing the appearance only a little.
4 q8 L$ R6 k6 S% \% kST: Semi-Transparent- The underglazes beneath these are identifiable, but are changed by the tone of the glaze over them.
4 m+ h& A% s2 l0 C, rSO: Semi-Opaque- Light underglaze colors will not show through and dark colors will be muted.
6 U% ?3 Q0 s  w; v1 jO: Opaque- Most colors will not show through.
+ Z; a7 W) Q7 Y4 }2 LSAFETY: One of the most important considerations when choosing a glaze deals with their use of utilitarian or serving pieces. In our industry, several words are used to describe the level of potential hazard that a glaze poses to a customer. Some words are used to describe the product in the liquid state and others are used to describe the finished glaze surface after firing. To determine the toxicity of a glaze in its liquid state, formulas are submitted to an independently licensed toxicologist who examines each glaze formula and determines whether the product can be labeled as non-toxic or whether it requires a health caution label.7 p: V! L5 z* i2 R& y
4 l2 n/ C4 x7 `) J$ T* a5 x
To determine dinnerware safe, a second set of tests are required. Samples of the glaze in its fired form (we use coffee cups) are tested by an independent laboratory facility for leachability of lead and cadmium. If the surface passes the standards set by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), then it may be used on food contact areas and can be labeled as dinnerware safe. Dinnerware safe only refers to the leachability of lead and cadmium; other surface characteristics are not considered. Please be aware that if a finished surface is bumpy, grooved, pitted, cracked or rough, there is potential for bacteria to hide out in the surface texture. So, even if a glaze is technically dinnerware safe, it may not be practical for use on food or beverage containers due to the difficulty of cleaning. A comparison would be a cutting board and the care required when preparing foods.

Glazes fall into the following categories.2 g! ^( D+ m0 Q5 i4 s1 W

" h/ \  U' S" M/ dNon-Toxic: Refers to the product in the jar. Contains no harmful ingredients in sufficient quantities that could be harmful to humans (including children).
7 k/ O1 b  X( T$ u; tHealth Caution: Refers to the product in the jar. There are some ingredients present in large enough quantities that the product may be harmful to humans. There will be detailed information on the product label as to the type of risk that is posed as well as proper handling instructions. Even more detailed information is available on the relevant Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS).
+ ?1 a  R5 Q- ]% j7 {9 Q6 B2 dDinnerware Safe/ Food Safe: Refers to the finished, fired surface of the glaze. Once fired according to the instructions on the product label, the fired surface may be used in contact with food or beverage without leaching potential harmful elements from the glaze into the food or beverage.6 y& \" h: x$ N9 f" L3 a
Not for Dinnerware Use/ Not for Food Use: Refers to the finished, fired surface of the glaze. Even when the glaze is fired according to label directions, the fired glaze may potentially transfer harmful elements into food or beverage upon contact.
; q. \6 _2 q) \( b% nHere are some examples to illustrate the differences:
  R" o/ |: P, l/ h+ R! Q/ f( @! x/ z8 b. o4 e; ^- n
Stroke & Coat glazes are Non-Toxic and Dinnerware-Safe. There are no toxic elements present in the liquid state, and therefore, no toxic elements will be leached into food or beverage." u0 `  X  ~! y/ x' n% f) G& W
Classic Crackles and Crystalites are Non-Toxic, just like the Stroke & Coats. And although they are also Dinnerware-Safe, the surface should be examined to determine if it is easily cleaned after food contact (no bumps, cracks, grooves, etc.).# o# ^- e+ N2 K; |
C-109 Wonder Clear Dipping Glaze has a Health Caution and is Dinnerware-safe. There is lead present in the liquid glaze and care must be taken to avoid exposure through inhalation or ingestion. However, when fired according to label directions, the fired surface of C-109 conforms to the standards established by the FDA and is dinnerware-safe.* p8 G3 `/ v3 p0 K
Other products, like Exotic Glazes, have a Health Caution and are NOT for dinnerware use. There are potentially harmful elements present in the liquid glazes and instructions must be followed for proper use to avoid exposure. Even when the glazes are fired according to label instructions, they should not be used on food or beverage contact areas, as enough of the harmful elements may be transferred to the food or beverage to be considered harmful to humans.
