PROFESSIONAL PIGMENT MANUFACTURER
Glass ceramic inks, also known as glass enamel inks, are specialized high-temperature inks used for decorating and functional printing on glass surfaces.
During the tempering or firing process, the ink fuses permanently with the glass substrate, creating highly durable patterns, logos, borders, conductive layers, and decorative coatings that offer excellent resistance to weathering, abrasion, chemicals, and UV exposure.
Glass ceramic inks are widely used in automotive glass, appliance glass, architectural glass, electronic displays, and glass packaging applications.
Fineland Chem supplies pigments, glass frits, and functional additives used in the formulation of high-performance glass ceramic inks.
Glass ceramic inks are composed of:
After screen printing or digital printing, the decorated glass is fired at temperatures typically ranging from 550°C to 850°C.
During firing:
The result is a durable decorative or functional coating that cannot be peeled or washed away.
| Application | Firing Temperature |
|---|---|
| Electronic Glass | 550-650°C |
| Glass Packaging | 580-650°C |
| Appliance Glass | 600-700°C |
| Automotive Glass | 680-720°C |
| Architectural Glass | 720-850°C |
The printed layer becomes part of the glass surface after firing.
Suitable for long-term outdoor exposure.
Superior durability compared with organic coatings.
Resistant to solvents, detergents, acids, and alkalis.
Colors remain stable under prolonged sunlight exposure.
Capable of withstanding high service temperatures.
