INSIGHT software for ceramic glaze chemistry calculations
   is the fastest, smallest, most reliable cross platform database, now it is integrated into INSIGHT. The previous recipe filing system has not been discarded, but improved: it reads and writes all legacy format recipe files using a standard file open/save dialog. The new Reference Database is a materials-centric knowledgebase of 4,000 pages and 11,000 interlinks with everything you need to know to formulate, adjust and troubleshoot traditional ceramic bodies and glazes (and there is no advertising on the pages!). But you need INSIGHT Level 2 to see the key features. It is time to upgrade/renew.

There is a direct relationship between the way ceramic glazes fire and their chemistry.

INSIGHT is a calculation tool anyone can use to learn and harness the power of  ceramic chemistry.
  • Fix problems like crazing, blistering, pinholing, settling, clouding, leaching, crawling, marking, scratching, powdering.
  • Substitute frits or incorporate better, cheaper materials, replace no-longer-available ones.
  • Adjust melting temperature, gloss, surface character, color.
  • Identify weaknesses in your glazes to avoid problems.
  • Creating and optimizing base glazes to work with difficult colors or stains and for special effects dependent on opacification, crystallization or variegation.
  • Create your own glazes from scratch and use your own native materials in the highest possible percentage.

Without ceramic chemistry you'll never really have control and you could be a slave to the textbook recipe culture or your suppliers. Learn more

The Digitalfire Reference Database, the Power Behind INSIGHT

Digitalfire's Reference Database is the online focus for all of our ceramic technology information gathering initiatives. Its knowledge spectrum for adjusting, formulating and troubleshooting glazes and bodies is organized as: Oxides, minerals, materials, recipes, articles, glossary, hazards, library, MDTs for INSIGHT, pictures, properties, firing schedules, significant temperatures, tests and troubleshooting. Records in these areas are interrelated by 10,000 links. The website talks to Level 2 INSIGHT and owners get extended access privileges.
