Effect of NaC۶H۷O۶ on Rheology of enamel slip

Alginate are known as a deflocculant in enamel slips. In order to obtain information on the optimumamount of alginate, the shear stress, rate and viscosity of alginate bearing slips were measured andresults showed that ۱wt% of alginate sodium will form the Newtonian fluid. Also by alginate addition,the wetting angle of slip on stainless steel was ۶۵. The appearance of deposited slip on steel after dryingwas completely smooth.
