Ferro continues its colour research

Apr 16, 2004

16/04/04 - Ferro is continuing to conduct research into the use of its products together with the main application technologies adopted in the ceramic industry. At the same time it is following the trend and colour guidelines in the Ferro handbook published for the second year, Moods 2005.

These include large-format tiles decorated in-press using the main technologies available on the market with the application of Granitoglass, in the form of either granules or spray-dried powder for through-bodied and double-filled porcelain tile; tiles decorated with KERAjet inkjet printing technology; tiles decorated with Superhard, glaze for high-strength applications; with Stardust, the series of 15 coloured granules for dry decoration, which allows an unlimited range of colours and extremely natural effects to be obtained; lustres and metallic additives which also create realistic effects but are presented with style and elegance to cater for an increasingly demanding market.

As for colours, one of the major novelties is that of coloured glass for the third fire sector. Here too, tiles feature bold, bright colours belonging to the “high visibility” family of trends, exactly as in fashion, design and art, with glossy surfaces and highly luminous crystal effects.

“Quarzite rosa” and “Rosa Lisbona”, large-format tiles decorated in the press with Granitoglass series spray-dried products (exhibited at Cevisama 2004).
