Description
The Northstar Star White frit is a creamy, fully opaque white made from high-quality borosilicate glass. This frit offers a stable and uniform color, ideal for many glassworking techniques such as glassblowing, flameworking, and fusing. Thanks to its specific formulation, it perfectly adapts to glass substrates with a coefficient of thermal expansion of 33 COE.
Artists choose Northstar Star White frit for its atmospheric neutrality: it does not react to the flame environment, allowing it to be used in both oxidizing and reducing flames without any color alteration. This pure white provides a perfect base to highlight transparent colors or create strong contrast effects.
When using it, it is recommended to heat the piece gradually to prevent the glass from boiling. Once the frit is melted and incorporated, it withstands heat well and can handle intensive work.
Star White can be applied by various methods : rolling, sprinkling, internal or external coating, or direct fusing onto a hot object. It adheres easily when the surface reaches a sufficient temperature, facilitating its incorporation at every stage of hot working.
Add depth, opacity, and contrast to your creations with Northstar Star White frit, an essential for any glass artist seeking a reliable, stable, and aesthetic white.
We also offer Northstar Star White rods, ideal for flameworking or sculpting applications. Combining rods and frit allows you to unify your shades and vary your techniques with ease.
