Ceramic vs silkscreened frit.

When design detail and budget are important this product is the most cost effective flexible and durable way of applying decoration to glass. However not all glass that is fused and quenched in water is frit as. The coated glass is then heated to about 1 150 f fusing the frit to the glass surface which produces a ceramic coating almost as hard and tough as the glass itself. Additionally other standard and custom patterns can be easily duplicated on a range of glass substrates.

Features of ceramic frit glass. Goldray s silkscreened ceramic frit is an enamel ink that is applied to the glass and permanently fused to the surface at temperatures in excess of 1200 f. The ceramic frit can be silk screened onto the glass substrate in one of three common standard patterns dots lines holes or in a full coverage application. Depending on which pattern colour of ceramic frit and glass substrate you select glass panels will either be transparent translucent or opaque.

It is not just about the chemistry. Ceramic enamel frits contain finely ground glass mixed with inorganic pigments to produce a desired color. Frits are used in ceramic glazes for a wide range of reasons. The purpose of this pre fusion is to render any soluble and or toxic components insoluble by causing them to combine with silica and other added oxides.

Create a subtle or bold look for a building using patterns and color. They are man made materials of controlled chemistry with many advantages or raw materials. A ceramic glass that has been premixed from raw powdered minerals and then melted. Multiple colors effects and patterns can be created.

A fired ceramic enamel frit is durable and resists scratching chipping. Raw materials in glazes. The ceramic frit is then fused onto the surface of the glass during the toughening or heat strengthening process creating a permanent bond to the glass surface. Silk screened glass improves solar control performance and can be combined with clear or tinted glass substrates as well as with high performance coatings to reduce glare and decrease solar transmission.

Ceramic frit does not break down when exposed to ultraviolet rays. Reduce glare and decrease solar transmission. It is waterproof scratchproof and highly durable. Style series 200 300 400 magnum series varsity series series 702.

Silicone bonds with the glass and will hold broken glass in an opening when applied at a wet film thickness of 13 mils. Silk screening can also be used for furniture partitions outdoor lighting fixtures and on facades through a guardian select fabricator.

Improves solar control performance. Guardian makes ceramic frit glass for appliances such as oven doors control panels and other emerging applications.
