System 30 is Vibrantz’s lead-containing, low-melting color range of glass enamels for the decoration of thin glassware including lamps, fancy glassware and small hollow glassware. System 30 glass enamels have a relative high coefficient of linear thermal expansion (CTE). It is recommended that special care be given when applying these colors, as enamels with a higher CTE than the substrate glass may weaken the glass.

Our standard silver pastes are specifically formulated for use with laminated and tempered auto glasses. Silver pastes contain between 50 and 80% of silver and are used for line widths between 500 up to 1000µm.

Our s1de ONE glass enamels are fully intermixable lead-free colors formulated for first surface applications where the decoration is applied to exterior surfaces that are directly exposed to the elements. s1de ONE enamels offer extremely high chemical and weathering resistance compared with traditional flat glass enamels.

The PR system is Vibrantz’s lead-containing color range of glass enamels for the decoration of borosilicate glass used in pharmaceutical glass packaging. PR system colors are intermixable, which allows decorators to mix and match their own shades for optimal productivity with minimal inventory. It is recommended to perform preliminary tests before launching production with color mixtures from this system.

Our non-conductive lacquers include silver lacquers that only require air drying to provide a conductive film.

The scratch resistance of non-fireable pastes is not as high in comparison to the fired silver pastes; however, these films are sufficiently adherent and durable to make minor repairs to fired resistance elements of heated rear windows.
