Ferro Frit 3195 and Fusion Frit F-2 are examples of frit made by two different manufacturers yet have similar chemistries and are often sold as substitutes for each other. This melt fluidity test compares them at cone 06. Melt flows like this can tell one many things. For example, Frits are not supposed to have an LOI, it is not clear why both, but especially F-2, have so many entrained bubbles.

Frit
Frits are made by melting mixes of raw materials, quenching the melt in water, grinding the pebbles into a powder. Frits have chemistries raw materials cannot. |

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. |
