The classification of high temperature glass printing ink

Glass ink (glassprintingink) is can be printed on the glass and strong adhesion of ink. Glass ink also has a variety, in order to be able to identify it well, we need to make a classification on them.


According to the processing temperature points:

1. The high temperature glass printing ink, also called high temperature tempered glass ink sintering temperature in 720-850 ℃, after high temperature tempered, ink and glass solid fusion bonded together. It is widely used in building curtain wall, car glass, stove oven panel, etc.;

2. Glass roast flower ink high temperature baking, sintering temperature at about 500 ℃. Widely used in glass, ceramics, sports equipment and other industries.

3. Low temperature glass ink of concave and convex version, caijing printing ink, after 100-150 ℃, bake for 15 minutes, the printing ink adhesion, solvent resistance.

4. Common glass ink natural drying, the surface drying time in about 30 minutes, the actual around 18 hours. Suitable for all kinds of glass, polyester adhesive paper printing.

According to the ink solvent points:

1. The oily glass printing ink Due to the use of ink solvent and thinner has the very strong excitant odour volatile. Perennial use body has great harm to operators;

2. Water glass printing ink By vibration glass ink takes the lead in a number of successful development of non-toxic, no organic solvent volatilization of an eu environmental protection standard glass printing ink, convenient cleaning and won't cause harm to personnel.

According to the environmental protection standard score:

1. Lead glass ink ink pigments containing lead chromium nickel metal material, such as the ink is often has a certain pollution hazard.

Ceramic high, medium, low temperature glaze classification

Ceramic industry is generally divided into architectural pottery and daily-use ceramics, art ceramic and several special ceramics class, their high, medium and low firing temperature classified as:

High temperature 1300 ℃, glaze, the ancient imperial kiln, under the glaze color, youligong, such as color, are all high temperature glaze. Jingdezhen special fire, high temperature ceramic firing temperature above 1300 degrees.

1200 ℃ : medium temperature glaze, GuMin kiln techniques commonly used 1000 ℃ : low temperature glaze, daily utensils often in low temperature burning, low cost, easy to mass production.

950 ℃ : glair, often used in the glaze of blue and white gold inlaid secondary sintering special techniques.

900 ℃ : embossed gold, in 1300 ℃ high temperature glaze, with pure water to relieve gold technique, international standard content is between 12% and 18%, not easy oxidation, is like new.

Below 800 ℃, say, the table class porcelain porcelain, class glaze glaze, called pigment.

Golden firing temperature 500 ℃ : glass, fire, mixed with vitreous material layer of gold content is about 5% to 5%, easy oxidation, low wear resistance.

400 ℃ to 600 ℃, bake flower glaze, contemporary with pigment coating, printing processing, commonly known as flower glass coating in transparent white glaze, imitation red yellow porcelain and phnom penh the color can be spurious.

Areas of high temperature ceramic daily:

In daily collection and craft porcelain, high temperature porcelain refers to the sintering temperature above 1300 ℃ of glaze, in ancient China under the glaze of blue and white, youligong, such as traditional porcelain, are made from high temperature.

Porcelain enamel is silica stable triangle cone chemical bond structure, only in 1250 ℃ above, will appear the change of the molecular level, make the colorant stability in the molecular structure. As a result, high temperature porcelain in color, color, material density, etc., has an irreplaceable unique effect.

Some tips for inclusion pigment:
This photo clearly shows what is meant by the phrase "inclusion pigment":
Inclusion Pigments 
You can see the red cadmium-selenium-sulfide particles enclosed in colourless, transparent zirconium silicate crystal.
Cd-S-Se is thermally stable up to 900°C in normal atmospheres. Beyond that the pigment decomposes to form CdO, SO2, SO3, and SeO2, and loses its colour and pigment quality. As long as the Cd-S-Se particles are embedded in the ZrSiO4 crystal they are protected against oxidation and the chemical attack of the glaze frit or flux.
Instructions for application of Inclusion Pigments
1.Black dots: black dots phenomenon, i.e. the brownish-black spots appeared on the surface of ceramic wares calcined with medium and high temperatures, is a weakness in the application of inclusion stains. Experiments have proven that this phenomenon is related to the ceramic body, frits as well as the pigments used. This problem can be solved by “Compensative encapsulation” and adjustment of frits.

Inclusion Light Red-S711
Inclusion Light Red-S712
The other name:Included Light Red Pigments, Bordeaux Red, Claret Red
Inclusion stains are mainly used in ceramics (ceramics for daily use, building ceramics, etc.). Application methods mainly include in-glazing (also called colored glaze, i.e. finished ceramic products are obtained by applying the mixture of stains and glazes on the body and then firing), under-glazing (finished ceramic products are obtained by applying the mixture of stains and flux on the body , drying, covering with transparent glaze, and then firing), and on-glazing (covering the body with base glazes which are not limited to white color, applying stained glaze on base glaze, then firing). Inclusion stains are usually used in high temperature on-glazing process or with products having very strict standard of Cd release. Otherwise, ordinary cadmium pigments can be used instead. Inclusion stains are also used for coloring bodies of high grade ceramic articles.

Make-to-order ceramic roof tile engobes

We supplies made-to-order engobes for roof tiles. They are available in liquid (slurry) or powder form. The main property of an engobe is its colour and the challenge is to ensure that the ceramic colour maintains stability through every production batch. - (clay glaze pottery glaze ceramic glazes body stain Ceramic Colors ceramic tile color)
We supplies made-to-order engobes for roof tiles. They are available in liquid (slurry) or powder form. Engobes are a mixture of minerals applied to a roof tile before glazing for decoration and to make the tile more durable to weathering. A wide variety of colours with either matt or brilliant finishes are available enabling consumers to make an original feature of their roof tiles for example for new buildings, or even to imitate the patterns on old weathered roof tiles which usually take years to develop.

The main property of an engobe is its colour and the challenge is to ensure that the colour maintains stability through every production batch. We ensures this by keeping the very first production batch of each product as a control against which all future batches are compared. our quality control specialists consider not only the colour, but also other key parameters such as the aspect (soft, rough, brilliant, matt); the viscosity of liquid products and the lifetime of the engobe, which is typically one year. Bacteria growth pose a serious threat to the quality of the engobes and its viscosity, we controls these through biocides and others high grade chemical products.

Engobes for roof tiles are, by definition, tailored solutions. In accordance with customer requirements we have the resources to provide both very large and small volumes. In addition, the geographic area, the properties of the tile's clay, the characteristics of the engobe application, the firing temperature etc. must all be accounted for when imitating a particular slate grade for instance. Six Star Colors has over 100 references for engobes, and each one has been designed for a specific customer. Some examples of  Six Star references include:

Slatey grade, a shiny dark engobe that gives a very stable slate effect
Flamed brown grades, applied as a fog for rustic roofs
Powders for applications with relief, for imitation of lichens and weathering patterns
A very high grade engobe with a long lifetime that ensures against cracks and spots
