It is Powder type Ceramic On Glaze Colors to be printed or to be hand painted on Ceramicware and Enamelware. Special mixing oil will be used together. It will make glossy colors when it is baked at high temperature about 780 - 850 celcious. Ceramic transfer decal is representative finished product. They are all intermixable to make various different tone colours. 4 colour process colours are also available.

No 11010, 11101, 11600 colors contain gold. The color tone can be adjusted by adding some quantity of white or flux. If you mix small amounts of the colors with 15070 cobalt blue, you may get more stable and unique colors.

b) Thickness of Print.
Proper thickness of screen printing will be 15-20 micron. Too thin printing can cause of losing of gloss after firing.

Too thick printing can cause of color crack because of different coefficient of expansion between body glaze and colors.

In offset printing, we recommend not to overlap printing more than 3 colors.

c) Mixing of Medium.
Decal Printing : Color 10 : Medium 6-9. Direct Printing : Color 10 : Medium 5-7.

d) Firing.
780°C- 800°C(1,440°F - 1,470°F) will be normally used for Stoneware, Porcelain and Bonechina. The best gloss of colors in Bonechina will be made at firing of this temperature. But, we can have the best gloss of colors for Porcelain at firing of 880°C - 900°F- 1,800°F).

The difference of high temperature will be about 50°C (122°F). The best firing point shall be in mid of the color difference. At peak temperature, the goods must stand by about 15-20 minutes to get good firing result. The kiln must keep clean inside without dust and smoke and good air circulation while firing.

If you put too many goods inside of kiln, the firing result could be no good.

e) Moisture Content.
This color series contain average less than 0.5% of moisture originally. But, it can be varied while distribution and storage. If the moisture content is too high, the powder particles can be congealed. Therefore, before using, we recommend you to dry our colors at 100°C-120°C (212°F - 232°F) for 2-3 hours and cool off at room temperature.

2. Chemical Resistance

The Chemical Contents analyzed out and listed as above are to prove that our colors are within general limit of chemical resistance. However, It can not substitute of chemical analysis for finished ceramic ware. Because, the chemical resistance can be varied depending on the kind of ceramic goods, colors, medium and firing conditions. Above listed chemical contents will help to check if the goods will meet general limit of regulation per size of design.

3. Acid Test Result

We tested in 4% Acetic Acid at 22 C+/- 2 C(72 +/- 3 F) for 24 hours and the colors remained the same.

4. Alkali Test Result

We tested in 0.5% of NaCo3 at 60 C+/- 2 C(140F +/- 3 F) for 32 hours and the colors and gloss remained the same.

5. Particle Size

About 85% is less than 5 microns and about 98% is less than 10microns.

6. Firing Temperature

It will be ranged 750°C - 880°C (1,380°F - 1,620°F). 780°C +/- 10°C(1,440 °F +/- 20°F) will be the best temperature.

7. Thermo-Impact Test

After the goods fired, we increased the temperature of kiln inside by 20°C +/- 2 C(68°F +/- 3°F) for10 minutes. Then, we took the samples out of kiln and quickly dip it in cold water. No crack, no damage was found.

8. Strong Points

Millennium 2000 Series are different from other competitor's colors which were produced by just mixing of finished flux powder and finished pigment. Our Millennium 2000 colors have no color change, no Alkali residue and no grain residue on surface of printing.
