Similar action to that of sodium silicate, howev er Darvan 7 will not erode plaster molds. Used to enhance the fluidity of casting slips and maintain or slow the shrinkage rate. Darvan 7 is typically preferred with porcelains and high iron content clay. Slips that are prepared with Darvan 7 show little tendency to thicken on standing, which is why it is often used in glazes. Darvan 7 can also be added to joining slip, which allows the use of less water and results in less shrinkage at attachment points. Click here for SDS Show more
