​

 

Ceramvetro lusters cover all the range of traditional colors and some innovative too; all lusters have been conceived and realized all in our internal lab, with the finest equipment and hight tech devices.

Some of them contain precious metal.

 

Main Charateristics

• High stability

• Intense colors

• Long durability

 

Application

Lusters are applied by brushing or spraying. In both cases these lusters must be diluted with our Ceramvetro thinner BD61.

For brushing add about 25% of thinner; for spraying add from 90% to 300% of thinner. The proper pressure for spraying is 0,7 to 1,1 kg/cmq. The object to be decorated should be held at a distance from 15cm to 50cm, depending on its size. The compressed air should be dried to prevent water from entering the luster, which could cause white spots to appear after firing.

 

Firing

Firing cycle depends on the support:

• Crystal 510°C – 550°C

• Glass 540°C – 580°C

• Glass bottles 580°C – 650°C

Thermolusters are used for the decoration of glass.

 

Main Charateristics

• High brilliance

• Stability of colors

• Long durability

 

Application

Thermolusters are applied by spraying on red hot glass (at a temperatureof more than 800°C before the annealing cycle). No thinner is needed.

In case the decoration result is a light grey the operator must apply more thermoluster; if a white powdery substance appears on the surface of the object after firing, the operator must apply less thermoluster

Crinkles are glass chips made from grinding glass blocks (cold frits), or are produced by quickly cooling  a glass block in cold water before milling  (hot frits).  Glass masters use crinkles  to obtain required tones for coloured or uncoloured  glass. Other uses include the creation of floor tiles embedded with crinkles.
