Frits

The Foundation of Every Ceramic Glaze

Precision-formulated glass compositions engineered
for performance, consistency and creative possibility

What are Frits?

Frits are technical glasses produced by fusing raw materials at high temperature, then rapidly quenching to create chemically stable, homogeneous compositions. They are the primary functional component of ceramic glazes.

With over 30 years of expertise in frit manufacturing, INCA Ceramics — a leading ceramic frit manufacturer in Morbi, Gujarat — produces a comprehensive range of frit types from opaque to transparent, glossy to matt, each engineered to meet exact performance and aesthetic specifications for the global ceramic tile industry.

Engineered for every
application

High Opacity

Opaque Frits

Full-body opacity for complete surface coverage. ZrO₂-based formulations deliver consistent whiteness and hiding power across all firing temperatures.

  • ZrO₂ Based
  • Full Opacity
  • Wall & Floor
Optical Clarity

Transparent Frits

Crystal-clear glass compositions for depth and brilliance. ZnO/Na₂O/K₂O systems engineered for maximum transparency and glaze clarity.

  • ZnO/Na₂O/K₂O
  • Crystal Clear
  • High Brilliance
Low Sheen

Matt Frits

Controlled matting through precise crystallisation. CaO/MgO/BaO/SrO systems produce consistent low-gloss surfaces with refined tactile quality.

  • CaO/MgO/BaO/SrO
  • Crystallisation
  • Tactile Finish
Custom

Special Frits

Custom-engineered formulations developed for specific applications. Confidential compositions tailored to your unique processing and aesthetic requirements.

  • Bespoke Chemistry
  • Confidential
  • R&D Backed

Where our frits
perform

01

Ceramic Glaze Manufacture

The primary application. Our frits serve as the functional glass component in wall tile, floor tile, GVT and porcelain glaze formulations.

02

Printing Powder Production

Specially formulated frits ground to fine powders for digital and screen printing applications on ceramic tile surfaces.

03

Granilla Manufacturing

Our frits are the base material for INCA's own granilla production line, creating precision-sized glass grits for advanced surface textures.

Built for precision

High-Temperature Stability

Engineered to perform consistently across 900°C to 1200°C firing ranges

Controlled Fusibility

Precise melting behaviour for predictable glaze flow and surface development

Chemical Insolubility

Stable glass matrix resistant to acid, alkali and environmental degradation

Batch-to-Batch Consistency

Rigorous QC ensures every batch meets identical composition and performance standards

Wide Opacity Range

From fully transparent to fully opaque, with controlled intermediate stages

Customisable Gloss Level

Gloss ranges from high brilliance to deep matt, tailored per formulation

Thermal Expansion Matching

Coefficient of expansion engineered to match substrate bodies, preventing crazing

Eco-Responsible Chemistry

Formulated to minimise environmental impact while maximising performance
