Color Stains

Ferro's color stains are available in brilliant, pure, highly efficient intense colors of the complete colour spectrum. The dispersible InstantColor® stains guarantee flexible production, easy handling and intermixibility. Our brand stands for innovative, high-quality, reliable products. Their extremely fine and uniform particles are ideal for modern screenprinting applications and for roller printing.



Decoration Colors

Our CerDeColor® brand comprises an extensive choice of low toxic metal release decoration colors (onglaze: Palette 70, Sunshine, and Azurico, inglaze: ImpressionPlus) as well as lead-, and cadmium-free decoration colours (onglaze: SambaPlus and Fantasy, inglaze: SkyPlus, underglaze: Springtime II). One of our recent developments is a range of low-temperature organic colors for decals. For the decoration of glass tumblers or bottles we recommend to use one of our proven collections of glass colous.

All of these color ranges have been produced under the most stringent manufacturing conditions to ensure that contamination from minor material impurities are minimized to a level that does not impact their ability to comply with current legislation on toxic metal release in the global market.



Decoration Media, Covercoats & Auxiliaries
Ferro is one of the major producers of Oils and Media for the decoration of ceramics with a long tradition of pacesetting innovation and continuous product improvement. We offer water-, wax-, and solvent-based media to suit the principal application methods employed in the industry, together with a specialized range of screen printing media and covercoats for the manufacture of both waterslide and heat release decals. For the decal printers, our media and covercoats are available in liquid form and a variety of thixotropic consistencies.

Frits and Glazes

Ferro offers a wide range of ceramic frits and glazes for all applications. Under the brand name CerDeCoat®, a variety of transparent, opaque and colored glazes is combined. The dinnerware, cookware, and giftware industry can choose from customized unleaded glazes and glazes with low lead release, as well as a selection of high-quality, high-performance frits for in-house glaze manufacture.

Where applicable, Ferro glazes comply with today’s detergent durability requirements. Ongoing research into more durable coatings continues to ensure that Ferro coatings offer the best available in-service characteristics for customers.
