Low Melting GlassEnamels for DecorativeGlass and HollowGlasswareProduct range 30lithium free Low melting glass enamels are mainly used for the decoration of thin glassware which would deform athigher temperatures; such as lamps, fancy and hollow glassware.
This product range is lithium free with the exception of product 19 166, satin matt. For lithium free
satin matt glass enamel, we recommend product 19 961, satin matt.

The colours of Product range 30 are completely intermixable. With the glass enamels of this range,
almost all common shades can be achieved by mixing. The mixing chart shows the corresponding
formulations. Intermixing of Cd free and Cd containing glass enamels is possible, but not
recommended.
4-Colour Process
An interesting combination is the 4-Colour Process which provides a large spectrum of colour shades
with only five basic enamels. The three primary colours Cyan 12 1517, Yellow 13 440 and Magenta
red 17 417 together with Black 14 171 and White 19 172 (Underlayer) are well suited for the process.
Note: Ceramic colours are less intense and less bright than organic colours.

For the 4-Colour Process and half tone printing it is recommended to use our thixotropic thermoplastic
glass enamels pasted in medium 80 1025.
The colour shade is mainly influenced by the surface of the glass. In comparison with non-treated
glasses the colour shade might vary on different surface treatment systems like titanium or tin which
are used for holloware glasses. With regard to floatglass, the Sn-side (bath side) causes a different
colour shade than the air side (firing side) of the glass.
The colours have been developed and tested for the following application processes: direct screen printing, thermoplastic paste Hollow Ware 6
For screen printing the following mesh-sizes are recommended: indirect screen printing61 - 90 threads/cm polyester (155 - 230 mesh/inch)(decals) or VA 70 - 100 steel (180 - 270 mesh/inch) Screen printing pastes
Colour : medium = 100 : 25 - 50 (direct screen printing)Colour : medium = 100 : 50 - 60 (indirect screen printing) Suspension for spraying
Enamels can be suitable dispersed in appropriate media using a high speed stirrer or in a ball mill.
The colour paste can be modified with a suitable diluent to spraying consistency.
(See “Decorating Auxiliaries”).
Under normal conditions, the Range 30 enamels fire glossy. If reduced gloss or matter films are
required, matting agent 29 610 can be added. Depending on the firing conditions and the desired
degree of matting, the addition of 20 - 40 % is recommended.
Good opacitiy is obtained with average to thick layers; thin layers provide adequate light transmission,as required for lighting fixtures.

Suitable Ferro media are available for all standard machine and manual processes such as screenprinting, spraying, banding, curtain and roller coating. For the production of decals, a broad range ofsuitable media and covercoats are also available.
Specific examples of suitable media types are listed in the “Decoration Auxiliaries”.
520 - 580 °C (conventional firing). A temperature of approximately 540 °C is recommended.
Thermal expansion
The thermal expansion is suitable for glasses with a linear thermal expansion coefficient range of85 - 100 x 10-7/K, (50 - 300 °C).
Chemical resistance
Range 30 glass enamels for decorative glass and hollow glassware are naturally much less durable
than range 38 colours (normal firing of 580 - 630 °C). For this reason Product range 30 glass enamels
they should only be used in cases where chemical resistance is of low importance.

The colour powder must be stored in dry conditions. Partly used tins must be tightly sealed after use.
It is recommended that colour powders are dried at 130 °C before pasting into oil based media.
Media should not be stored below 5 °C or above 35 °C. The ideal storage temperature is between 8 °C
and 15 °C. Partly used tins must be tightly sealed after use. If stored as recommended, a minimum
shelf life of 6 months after production date is guaranteed.
Colour pastes must be stored in dry and cool conditions. The storage temperatures should not be
below 5 °C or exceed 35 °C. Before printing, pastes must be stirred thoroughly. Partly used tins must
be tightly sealed after use. If stored as recommended, a minimum shelf life of 6 months after the
production date is guaranteed.
