Synthesis and Characterization of Some Free-Lead Ceramic Coatings | Chapter 3 | Research Aspects in Chemical and Materials Sciences Vol. 1

 In the industrial and creative sectors, an object's aesthetic appearance can be quite essential. However, the safety, environmental, and health risks associated with the use of hazardous inorganic coatings (colourants and pigments) in ceramic technologies must be prioritised.

The findings of two types of studies are presented in this study: refining the networks of production of pink-cherry-colored stannic pigments and developing recipes for new violet pigments.

The research was justified because of the important features of tin-based pigments, notably the excellent colours that form in glazes. The pigments developed are suitable for use in well-controlled circumstances of temperature, combustion environment, and, in particular, glaze and flux composition. These pigments are made using the same process as ceramic pigments: dosing raw ingredients, homogenization, drying, synthesis, purifying pigment, wet milling, and drying pigment.

In order to get the proper colours in cost-effective circumstances, tin content is lowered to the traditional techniques by more than 40%. Because tin oxide is one of the most costly synthetic oxide pigments used in the production of ceramics, this is critical. It was possible to get a wide variety of colours that may be successfully utilised for ceramic ornamentation.
