{"title":"Suspension Ingredients","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"1596\" data-end=\"2020\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eExplore our collection of ceramic suspension ingredients in the UK, essential additives used to keep pottery glazes stable, smooth, and properly mixed during storage and application. In ceramic glazing, most materials are insoluble powders that naturally settle over time in water. Suspension ingredients help prevent this separation, ensuring a consistent glaze that is easy to use and produces reliable firing results.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2022\" data-end=\"2330\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eThis collection includes key suspension and stabilising agents such as bentonite, CMC (carboxymethyl cellulose), Epsom salts (magnesium sulphate), sodium silicate, and other specialty glaze additives. Each of these materials plays a different role in controlling how glaze particles behave in suspension.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3159\" data-end=\"3461\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eSuspension control is a critical part of glaze chemistry. Without it, heavier particles can settle quickly, leading to uneven application, inconsistent colour, and application difficulties in studio work. By adjusting suspension, potters can achieve smoother dipping, brushing, and pouring performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3463\" data-end=\"3641\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eWhether you're formulating studio glazes, troubleshooting settling issues, or refining ceramic recipes, suspension ingredients are essential tools for reliable glaze performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3643\" data-end=\"3762\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eBrowse our full range of ceramic suspension ingredients and discover key additives for stable, workable pottery glazes.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"pehatine","title":"Pehatine (Mixing Medium)","description":"\u003cp\u003eA premixed CMC\/bentonite solution ready to be added to water for either changing a powdered glaze into a brush-on, making a stain\/underglaze paintable, or as an addition to slips\/engobes and clay bodies. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Milton Bridge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47842427371864,"sku":"F064","price":21.3,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0803\/1567\/9064\/files\/Pehatine_2048x_d8f6211a-344a-4579-9f70-9d6d44d37f70.webp?v=1742306757"},{"product_id":"cmc","title":"CMC","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe magic gloop we use to make a brush-on glaze.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Hot Clay","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47842429141336,"sku":"D182","price":2.65,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0803\/1567\/9064\/files\/CMC-or-Dispex-2_b8b1efb2-9a10-4b3f-8fd0-0f97d75fe239.png?v=1742306759"},{"product_id":"sodium-dispex","title":"Sodium Dispex (deflocculant)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis will reduce the viscosity of a casting slip.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Scarva","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47842431795544,"sku":"D006","price":2.55,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0803\/1567\/9064\/files\/Dispex.png?v=1742306756"},{"product_id":"raw-material-ball-clay-white","title":"Ball Clay - White","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA ball clay with low plasticity, but high strength, ideal for a stoneware body or as part of a casting slip mix. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sneyd Ceramics","offers":[{"title":"1kg","offer_id":49821343777112,"sku":"MEZZ-6","price":1.69,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"25kg","offer_id":55553853587837,"sku":"MEZZ-57","price":39.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0803\/1567\/9064\/files\/Leonardo_Phoenix_A_small_neatly_arranged_pile_of_very_light_gr_0.jpg?v=1742306244"},{"product_id":"raw-material-ball-clay-hyplas-71","title":"Ball Clay - Hyplas 71","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHyplas 71 is a brand of ball clay commonly used as the basis for decorating slips.
