Bismuth Subnitrate (Bi₅O(OH)(NO₃)₄) is a white or pale-yellow compound used in ceramics and glazes primarily as a colorant and opacifier. Under reduction, it can produce subtle gol d to bronze surfaces and interesting metallic effects in specialty glazes. Bismuth compounds can be hazardous if inhaled or ingested, potentially affecting the kidneys and liver over prolonged exposure. Always wear gloves, a dust mask or respirator, and work in a well-ventilated area. Do not ingest. Wash hands thoroughly after handling. Learn more about Bismuth Subnitrate on DigitalFire.com.
