Glass Colors

   

 

Main Usage:

Ceratec colors are suitable for screen-transfer printing, direct printing, spraying, pad printing and hand painting. 

Ceratec colors are applied in very thick layers, the colors could crack or chip off, depending on the type of ware and thickness of the colors. We recommend testing the application of the colors under your conditions before mass production use.

Mesh Size:

We recommend mesh sizes that are 195-305 mesh/inch (77-120 thread/cm) for all screen applications.   

 

 

 

 

Technical info and Chemical Composition:

Normal firing is from 500-1180℃ in a cycle of 60-150 minutes, cold-to-cold, with 3-10 minutes for soaking. The best firing condition depends on firing speed and type of ware and kiln.

Lead- and cadmium-free glass colors absorb any moisture easily. Therefore, keep powder colors in a dry place. We recommend drying the color powder before using.

Chemical durability of Ceratec colors depends on type of ware, kiln, color deposit and firing conditions.

Ceratec colors contain less than 90 ppm residual lead and less than 40 ppm residual cadmium, with some exceptions (cadmium-containing colors *1) and are therefore in compliance with Californian Proposition
65, FDA, CPSIA, EU requirements.
