Products for the Ceramics Industry
Ferro serves the roof tile industry with lead- and cadmium-free roof tile glazes, engobes, and glossy engobes in various colors. In addition, our well-known lead containing frits and glazes are available. We have developed high-temperature dispersible InstantColor glaze stains and frits for the sanitary ware industry. Stove tile producers rely on our range of stains, frits, glazes and special effects products, which enable them to create innovative and unique designs.

Products for the Industrial Ceramics Industry
Ferro's product range comprises pigments and special glasses for the electrical and electronic applications. We offer coating materials for the modification of ceramic surfaces like insulators or spark plugs. Our special glasses are used for the bonding of abrasives and superabrasives in the grinding wheel industry, as lubricants for the hot-processing of metals, as filler material for composites and in various other areas.

Process Temperature Control Rings
Process Temperature Control Rings are highly accurate ceramic temperature indicators that can be used in both batch and continuous tunnel kilns. They record the true heat treatment received by the fired product by taking into account both radiated and transferred heat, as well as the effects of temperature over time. The rings allow this recorded heat exposure to be expressed as a single number that is practical and easy to work with.
