Health & Safety Labeling Information • Proper firing of dinnerware safe glazes is critical. Use shelf cones on the kiln shelves to ensure that the pieces are fired hot enough, even if the kiln is electronically controlled or has an automatic kiln sitter. Always fire in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions. If crazed or under fired, these glazes may not be food safe. Too heavy an application of glaze, fast firing or not firing to the proper shelf cone listed on the label may result in a glaze that does not meet the FDA standards. The labels on a product are very important and give you a wealth of knowledge. Read and understand the label for product’s use and hazards, if any. Ceramic hobby glazes are manufactured with a variety of raw materials that are mined and extracted from the ground. Some of these materials can be classified as toxic and if misused can be dangerous. The key to safe use of all art materials starts with professional education and training. Lead and/or Cadmium Containing Glazes Lead and cadmium are used in many ceramic glazes. Cadmium is used to produce brilliant reds and yellows. Lead gives a brilliance to the glaze and allows the glazes to mature well at lower firing temperatures (shelf cone 06). Glazes containing lead and/or cadmium should be handled with respect. The dust from such glazes should not be inhaled. Anyone who is pregnant or contemplating pregnancy should only use these glazes with professional supervision. Use good personal hygiene when working with these types of glazes and keep them out of the reach of children. Application Instructions Product Family Color Name Firing Toxicity Status Instructions Product Number Sprays, Solvents and Overglazes These products are easy to use safely and will present no problems as long as these important rules are observed: • Containers should be kept tightly closed when not in use. • Keep out of reach of children. • Aerosol sprays, solvents and solvent-based overglazes should be used outdoors, with a locally exhausting hood or spray booth or a window exhaust to assure adequate ventilation. • Do not use near an open flame or heat source. • Clean up after use and dispose of products properly in a metal container designed for disposal of flammable materials. Contaminated materials can be washed or placed under water until final disposal. Overglaze Compatibility Slip The mixture of any fine powder like slip requires the use of a safety mask approved by OSHA. The work area should be well ventilated with a system that draws all dust. This area should be away from other working areas so as not to spread the fine dust particles. Good housecleaning habits are necessary when mixing and pouring slip. Wipe up spills immediately. Do not sweep the area. Chronic lung damage may result from prolonged inhalation and exposure to the clay dust. 2 Product Lot #
