InstantColor Stains for Sanitaryware

Ceradecor industrial ceramic pigments are designed to color all types of special glazes and bodies used for sanitaryware. Our InstantColor ceramic pigment stains offer 25 shades that result in an infinite number of colors that exhibit high purity, intensity, and brilliance within the complete color spectrum. Significant cost savings can be achieved as colors are easily adjusted right in the barrel.

InstantColor stains are developed to meet the specific technical and firing requirements of the sanitaryware industry. These include being fired for several hours at a temperature higher than 1200 °C and for the color to remain true and constant. They are also capable of being fired a second time at high temperatures without any deterioration of color and surface properties. This enables sanitaryware manufactures to perform an additional repair firing or a decorating firing process, as needed.

Proven Quality

All the ceramic stains in our InstantColor range consist of extremely fine, uniformly minute particles that are dissolved instantly.

These colors are readily dispersed in standard slurries, requiring no ball milling as practically all primary grains are smaller than 32 μm with no coarse agglomerates that need grinding for slurry preparation.
