Nano sized ceramic inks

Nano-sized ceramic inks have been synthesized to optimize their chemical and physical properties. Particle size, phase composition, suspension stability, viscosity and surface tension of the nano-inks have been tailored to obtain suspensions suitable for drop-on-demand ink-jet printers. In addition, the color strength was optimized according to four-color process requirements. Penetration tests demonstrated that pigment nanoparticles and substrate porosity influence the inks' penetration.


Following with the issue of ceramic inks we would like to share with all of you some developments that our company has got in laboratory last months.
Our company has been working on NANO-SIZED pigments during long time in order to get the possibility of increasing the possibilities of ceramic inks inside modern ceramic industry.

Nano-sized ceramic inks have been synthesized to optimize their chemical and physical properties.
Particle size, phase composition, suspension stability, viscosity and surface tension of the nano-inks have been tailored to obtain suspensions suitable for drop-on-demand ink-jet printers. In addition, the color strength was optimized according to four-color process requirements. Penetration tests demonstrated that pigment nanoparticles and substrate porosity influence the inks' penetration.
Some application tests on a laboratory ink-jet printer showed that the inks effectively color most types of ceramic tile substrates, ensuring good reproducibility and high color saturation. The industrial scale-up is in progress, and these ceramic nano-inks will be available for purchase soon.

And when we say soon, we say that this kind of NEW NANO-SIZED PIGMENT are ready to be used in production right now. The future of ceramics is just arriving and Olucha Colors is 100% ready for that, you can contact us for any further information.
