Ceramic Frit Glass
Ceramic frit glass, also known as ceramic coated glass, is produced by applying frit with selected colors and patterns onto the glass surface through silk-screening, roller-coating or printing, and then subjecting it to heat treatment (tempering or heat strengthening). This causes the frit to adhere firmly to the glass, ensuring that its colors and patterns do not fade.
Features:
It has long-term durability and can prevent the frit from fading and peeling.
It offers a wide variety of colors and patterns, providing an excellent decorative effect, and is resistant to fading, acid and alkali.
The colors and patterns can be customized. Through double printing and multi-color overprinting, various types such as ordinary frit, translucent, metallic frit, mirror frit, and gold frit can be obtained.
It has the functions of shading sunlight and blocking spandrels.
Specifications:
Maximum Size: 2400 × 4800 mm (94″ × 188″)
Minimum Size: 150 × 250 mm (6″ × 9¾″)
Thickness: 3 – 19 mm (⅛″ – ¾″)
Certifications:
China CCC Certification, US SGCC Certification, UK BS EN Kitemark Certification.
Complied Standards:
Relevant building glass standards of China, ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials), ANSI (American National Standards Institute), and BS EN (British Standards Institution).
Applicable Range:
It is very popular in interior decoration of buildings.
It is used in colorful glass furniture, household appliances like range hoods.
Sometimes, in order to achieve a better printed color, ultra-clear glass (low iron, with a light transmittance of 92%) is used because, unlike common float glass, it does not have a greenish tint.
Overview of Ceramic Printing:
Before tempering or heat strengthening, ceramic frit is applied to the glass together with glass enamel through a fine-mesh screen. After that, the enamel fuses into the glass surface, forming a permanent, damage-resistant coating. Silk-screened glass is suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications; when used outdoors, it needs to be protected in an insulating glass unit. When combined with other glasses, it can control light, reduce solar heat gain, and enhance aesthetics and performance.
