A fusion seal between two surfaces, and a material to produce the seal, consist essentially of 60-90 percent by weight of a SnO-ZnO-P2O5 glass frit and 10-40 percent by weight of a mill addition including alumina and, optionally, zircon, the alumina content being at least 10% when it constitutes the mill addition and not over 20% in conjunction with zircon, 0-15 % of a further additive that reduces the effective CTE of the seal, the mill addition being present in a sufficient amount to cause a substantial change in viscosity-temperature characteristics of the material after formation of a seal. The effect of the mill addition on viscosity in a fusion seal finds particular application in uniting the faceplate and funnel members to form a cathode ray tube envelope.
