FRIT Meaning and
Definition
-
Frit is a noun that primarily refers to a ceramic material produced by melting and then cooling a mixture of inorganic substances. The word also encompasses the process of making this material.
In its material form, frit is typically composed of glassy granules or little particles obtained by grinding or melting various minerals, such as silica, alumina, and compounds of alkali or alkaline-earth metals. They are combined in specific proportions and heated until they fuse together. Once cooled, frit can be ground into a fine powder or shaped into small pellets or granules, often used as additives or glazes in ceramic production. The particles of frit can be either transparent or opaque, depending on the desired effect.
Fritting, on the other hand, refers to the process of making frit. This process involves heating the raw materials in a kiln or furnace until they reach their melting point, usually around or above 1,100 degrees Celsius (2,000 degrees Fahrenheit). Once the mixture becomes molten, it is then rapidly cooled to form the solid frit material.
Frit can be used for various applications, depending on its composition, such as in glass manufacturing, ceramics, and even in the production of pigments or enamels. Due to its ability to alter the properties of materials, frit plays a significant role in the development and enhancement of various industrial and artistic processes.

Etymology of FRIT
The word "frit" has its origins in the Latin word "frictus", meaning "fried". It was derived from the Latin verb "frigere", which means "to fry" or "to roast". Over time, the word made its way into Old French as "frit", also meaning "fried". From Old French, it entered the English language in the 14th century, retaining its meaning of something that is fried or roasted. Today, "frit" is specifically used to describe a mixture of silica and fluxes that are fused together at high temperatures to create glass.
