VNS System lead-free Container Glass Enamels
The VNS System is Ferro's lead-free color range of container glass enamels for the decoration of one-way glass bottles, perfume bottles and cosmetic glass packaging.
Intermixable Colors for Limitless Possibilities
VNS System container glass enamels are also intermixable, which allows decorators to mix and match their own shades for optimal productivity with minimal inventory.
It is recommended to perform preliminary tests before launching production with color mixtures from this system, especially for combinations of red or yellow cadmium-containing colors (as marked*) with any other colors.
Our container glass enamels from all systems can be provided in the following forms:
- Powder form
- Water-friendly pastes for conventional and electrostatic spraying
- Oil-based liquid pastes for cold screen-printing
- Thermoplastic pastes for multi-color hot screen printing
- Mediums suitable for all applications can also be provided
Colors in the VNS System do not contain voluntary additions of heavy metals that include lead, cadmium, mercury and hexavalent chromium (Cr6+), with the exceptions of the cadmium-containing green, yellow and reds (as marked* below). These colors use cadmium pigments needed to achieve any applicable market-required color tones.
