Color pigments are essential in the ceramics industry, providing a wide range of hues and shades to ceramic products. These pigments are carefully formulated to withstand the high temperatures of ceramic firing processes and maintain their vibrant colors over time. They are used in various ceramic applications, including tiles, pottery, sanitary ware, and decorative items.Wollastonite is a naturally occurring mineral known for its unique properties and wide range of applications. It is a calcium inosilicate mineral (CaSiO3) that typically occurs in metamorphic rocks. Wollastonite forms when limestone or other high-calcium rocks undergo high temperature and pressure conditions, often in the presence of silica.
Produces colors ranging from yellow to red and brown. Commonly used for earthy tones in ceramics.
Cobalt Oxide (CoO)Yields intense blue colors, often used in glazes and underglazes.
Chromium Oxide (Cr2O3)Provides green hues, ranging from pale green to dark green.
Manganese Oxide (MnO2)Results in colors from brown to black, often used for darkening other pigments.
Copper Oxide (CuO/Cu2O)Produces green to blue-green colors, commonly used in both glazes and body stains.
Titanium Dioxide (TiO2)Used as a white pigment and opacifier, can also modify other colors.
Created by combining multiple metal oxides under high temperatures to form stable, complex structures.
Offer a wide range of colors, including blues, greens, yellows, and browns.
Known for their excellent stability and resistance to fading.
Used as a base for producing stable white pigments.
Zirconium Vanadium Blue (ZrV2O7)Produces a bright blue color.
Zirconium Praseodymium Yellow (ZrPrSiO7)Provides a vibrant yellow hue.
Known for high opacity and thermal stability.
Produce bright red, orange, and yellow colors.
Highly stable and intense colors, but usage is regulated due to toxicity concerns.
