TiO2 — A natural ore containing titanium dioxide and a small amount of iron. Used as a slip and glaze colorant, rutile produces creams, tans and browns in oxidation and various bright oranges and blues in reduction. It tends to produce mottled or broken colors, increase opacity, and promote the growth of crystals in glazes.
Many materials used by potters in glazes and clay are potentially hazardous substances. We at Bailey feel you should take precautions to minimize exposure.
1. Handle materials carefully. Avoid spillage. Keep materials covered. 2. Wear a NIOSH approved respirator. Avoid breathing all dusts. 3. Wear rubber gloves when glazing or painting with oxides or stains. 4. Keep your workspace clean, free of dust. 5. Wash your work clothes separately from other clothing. 6. Do not eat or smoke in your workspace. 7. Use a wet mop for cleaning or a toxic dust vacuum cleaner.
Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) are available on CD-ROM's in PDF format. Please call 1-800-431-6067 for more details. A CD-ROM disk can be enclosed with your order upon verbal request.
