SAMBA100 Lead-Free Onglaze Colors
Ferro’s SAMBA100 is the next generation lead-free color range designed for onglaze decoration of vitreous china, earthenware and enamel.
The SAMBA100 color range offers 37 highly pigmented lead-free shades including four cadmium colors that deliver an intense color palette used for onglaze ceramic decoration. These colors show relatively high acid and alkali resistance with the exception of Cobalt Blue 12 1654, which is slightly more vulnerable.
SAMBA100 onglaze decoration colors are lead-free and cadmium-free with controls in place to maintain upper limits of 100 ppm lead and 600 ppm cadmium.
The cadmium containing colors are lead-free. Ferro maintains and manages the heavy metal limit through careful monitoring of raw materials combined with accurate processing and continuous precise quality control.
SAMBA100 ONGLAZE COLOR SERIES ADVANTAGES
- All colors in the series fulfil the heavy metal release limits of EN 13881-2, California Prop. 65 and FDA requirements, provided that application and firing is handled correctly
- Delivery of maximum possible color intensity even with thin color deposits
- Allows for low color consumption by using fine screens (e.g. for fine lines)
- Improved flexibility in decoration designs with a wider color space
- New color shades for a multitude of design options
- Excellent processing characteristics
- Multi-purpose ability of mixing or overprinting with different fluxes enables a wider application range than any other color series so far on the market
- One complete color range that is compatible across varying substrates and firing conditions results in economic and logistic advantages
Colors in the SAMBA100 series have excellent processing properties in all conventional decorating methods including direct and indirect screen printing, spraying, machine lining and banding, and brush application.
Ferro also offers a full range of suitable media and covercoats designed for use with all standard decorating methods.
