| Typecodes | Leaded Frit Frits can contain 1% or 80% PbO so this category can be misleading, check the chemistry to find out. |
| Typecodes | Frit A frit is the powdered form a man-made glass. Frits are premelted, then ground to a glass. They have tightly controlled chemistries, they are available for glazes of all types. |
| Materials | Lead Bisilicate Frit A standard frit of 1 molar part of PbO and 2 of SiO2. It is considered stable and non-leachable. |
| Co-efficient of Linear Expansion | 52.2 x10-7 (20-400C) |
| Glass Transition Temperature | 565C |
