What is Frit?

Outline

Frit is a kind of borosilicate glass. Raw materials such as minerals and chemicals are mixed in a certain formulation and smelted at a very high temperature to be vitrified, and are further quenched and usually crushed to flake form. Frit is mainly used as surface coating materials for porcelain enamel and ceramics; tile, dinnerware or sanitary ware.

Features

Frit provides decorative appearance as well as excellent chemical and physical properties to the finished products. Specifically, frit mixed with color oxides can produce a wide range of beautiful colors with smooth, glossy and rigid surface. It improves heat resistance, acid/alkali resistance and durability of the finished products.

At TOMATEC

We have been pursuing the functions of frit for several decades and developed many types of frit with peculiar properties through professional formulations. For example, continuous-clean enamel, antimicrobial frit or stain-resistance frit. In addition to the coating materials, our frit products include filler for plastics, filler for heat resistant paint, binder for vitrified grind wheels, antioxidant agent to prevent graphite refractory from decarburization and so on.
