VPS System lead-free Container Glass Enamels
The VPS System is Ferro's lead-free color range of container glass enamels for the decoration of pharmaceutical glass packaging.
Intermixable Colors for Limitless Possibilities
VPS 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.
Colors in the VPS 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 in order to achieve any applicable market-required color tones.
- 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
VPS System enamels contain lithium, therefore it is not recommended to use these enamels for the decoration of pressurized containers.
