High-Temperature Inks:
• After high-temperature sintering, the ink forms strong chemical bonds with the glass surface, ensuring excellent adhesion that resists wear, scratches, and peeling.
• Offers superior chemical resistance, withstanding acids, alkalis, and other corrosive substances while maintaining vibrant color and long-term stability.
• Capable of enduring high-temperature environments, making it ideal for applications like oven door glass, industrial observation windows, and other heat-resistant glass products.
Low-Temperature Inks:
• Adhesion is relatively weaker; frequent friction or contact with sharp objects may cause wear or peeling.
• Chemical and heat resistance are generally inferior to high-temperature inks. Prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals or high temperatures may lead to fading or performance degradation.
• Significantly reduces energy consumption and production costs compared to high-temperature processes while minimizing thermal stress on glass substrates. Suitable for specialty glass that cannot withstand high heat.
Production Process
High-Temperature Inks:
• Requires specialized sintering equipment, leading to higher energy consumption and production costs.
• High heat may cause glass deformation, limiting compatibility with heat-sensitive or complex-shaped glass products.
Low-Temperature Inks:
• Cures at lower temperatures, eliminating the need for high-heat sintering. Simple drying equipment or air drying is sufficient, reducing energy use and costs.
• Compatible with a wider range of glass types, including heat-sensitive, thin, or organic-rich glass.
Applications
High-Temperature Inks:
Commonly used in:
• Architectural glass (curtain walls, facades)
• Automotive windshields
• Solar photovoltaic glass
These applications demand extreme durability, weather resistance, and long-term performance under harsh conditions.
Low-Temperature Inks:
Ideal for:
• Decorative glass (vases, mirrors)
• Consumer glassware
• Electronics (smartphone screens, tablet displays)
These products prioritize cost-efficiency, ease of production, and sufficient performance for indoor or less demanding environments.
