Abstract: A cadmium glass is disclosed, particularly adapted for use in fritted form, characterized in that the glass is a highly concentrated source of cadmium with relatively low cadmium oxide solubility or release, as when ingested in the human system, to render it essentially nontoxic and thereby adapted for many applications. In addition to cadmium oxide, the basic glass comprises titania, zirconia, alumina, and silica. A chief use for the nontoxic cadmium glass is as a stabilizer for inorganic red or yellow glazes. Cadmium oxide solubilities as low as 0.0% are possible, depending on particle size of the ground glass.
