Strengthening Expertise in High-Performance Pigments and Sustainable Color Solutions
Fineland Chem recently organized an internal technical training session focusing on two important industry topics: Glass Ceramic Inks and Lead-Free Pigments. The session brought together members from the sales, purchasing, and technical teams, helping participants deepen their understanding of emerging market trends, pigment technologies, and application requirements.
Through regular technical training activities, Fineland Chem continues to strengthen its professional knowledge base and enhance its ability to provide informed support for customers across coatings, plastics, inks, and specialty applications.
Understanding Glass Ceramic Inks and High-Temperature Pigment Requirements
The first part of the training focused on Glass Ceramic Inks, a specialized category of inks designed for decoration and marking on glass, ceramic, and other heat-resistant substrates.
Participants reviewed the basic composition of glass ceramic inks and discussed how pigments must maintain color stability under high-temperature firing conditions. Compared with conventional printing inks, glass ceramic inks require pigments that can withstand elevated temperatures while maintaining chemical stability, color consistency, and durability.

The training also introduced Fineland Chem’s recently launched product, Pigment Black 28 (PBK28), which is specifically recommended for high-temperature glass ceramic ink applications.
PBK28 offers:
- Excellent thermal stability
- Strong chemical resistance
- Good physical durability
- Reliable color performance under firing conditions
These characteristics make it suitable for demanding glass and ceramic decoration processes where long-term durability is required.

Lead-Free Pigments and the Industry’s Shift Toward Sustainability
The second part of the training focused on Lead-Free Pigments and their growing importance in modern industrial applications.
Participants discussed the differences between traditional lead-containing pigments and newer lead-free alternatives. As environmental regulations continue to evolve worldwide, manufacturers are increasingly seeking pigment solutions that can deliver both performance and compliance.

The training highlighted how sustainability considerations are influencing purchasing decisions across coatings, plastics, and related industries. In response to these market developments, Fineland Chem has invested in the research and development of several lead-free pigment solutions designed to replace conventional lead chromate pigments.
These products aim to provide:
- Regulatory compliance
- Reduced environmental impact
- Reliable color performance
- Long-term application stability
Today, some of these lead-free pigment products have already gained recognition from customers and entered commercial production projects.
