VEE GUM T
VEE GUM T – is produced by the Vanderbilt Company, Inc. It is a super
fine (colloidal) purified Bentonite (hydrated Magnesium
Aluminosilicate). Like Bentonite, it is used as a plasticizer (in white
clay bodies due to its iron-free make-up) and as a suspension agent in
glazes (typically <2%; see also Bentonite).
VEE GUM CER – is produced by Vanderbilt Company, Inc. It is a mixture
of Vee Gum T and a medium viscosity Sodium Carboxymethylcellulose
(SCMS). It is used in glazes to optimize the surface hardness of
un-fired glazes, to stabilize viscosity, and to enhance glaze
suspension.
