Stabilisers are one of the three core functional groups in ceramic chemistry, working alongside glass formers and fluxes to create balanced, predictable, and durable glaze surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2161\" data-end=\"2501\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eThis collection includes key stabilising materials such as alumina sources (including calcined alumina), kaolin (china clay), ball clay, and bentonite, all widely used in studio ceramics and glaze formulation. Stabilisers are essential for potters developing custom glaze recipes, solving defects such as running or crazing, or refining surface effects for functional and decorative ceramics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3341\" data-end=\"3518\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eWhether you're formulating studio glazes, testing recipes, or working on production pottery, stabilisers provide critical control over glaze performance and final fired results.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3520\" data-end=\"3637\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eBrowse our full range of ceramic stabilisers and discover essential materials for glaze chemistry and pottery making.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"raw-material-china-clay","title":"China Clay","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOften referred to as kaolin in glaze recipe books.
