DIGITAL GLAZE FOR HIGH GRAMMAGE, WITHOUT THE USE OF ANTI-SETTLING AGENTS

摘要

The invention relates to a digital glaze for high grammage, without the use of anti-settling agents, referred to as digital glazes suitable for application using digital inkjet printing techniques that can be used to apply high grammage, maintaining the same aesthetic and technical characteristics obtained with traditional glazes and non-digital application techniques. No anti-settling agents are used in the composition so as to prevent the digital glaze of the invention from being thixotropic and, consequently, creating problems in the inkjet printing process, since anti-settling agents are solid and not soluble in the liquid medium that also forms part of the digital glaze. The composition comprises: at least one medium that is liquid at ambient temperature, formed by a mixture of water and polar solvents and/or solvents of medium to low polarity, having a percentage by weight of between 20 and 70 % of the total weight of the digital glaze; and at least one mixture of ceramic raw materials and/or frits as a glaze-forming material, having a percentage by weight of between 30 and 80 % of the total weight of the digital glaze.
