01. The Material

Technical Glasses for the Ceramic Industry

Our frits are technical glasses produced by fusing carefully selected raw materials at high temperature, then rapidly quenching to create an insoluble, chemically stable glass composition. They serve as the primary functional component of ceramic glazes — controlling melt behaviour, surface finish, and long-term durability.

With over 30 years of frit manufacturing expertise, we produce different types of frits ranging from opaque to transparent and from glossy to matt — for wall tiles, GVT tiles, porcelain tiles, and special applications. Our frits are also used in producing printing powders and granilla.

INCA frit melting furnace — raw materials fused at high temperature

Opaque Frits

Full-body opacity for rich, solid-colour development

Zirconia, alumina, and zinc-based formulations that deliver complete coverage and vivid colour development. Ideal across a wide range of firing temperatures and cycles.

Primary Property High Opacity

Primary Oxide ZrO₂

Transparent Frits

Crystal-clear glass for brilliant glossy surfaces

High-clarity glass compositions that help glaze fire to an optically transparent surface. Engineered for high-gloss polished tiles, deep colour enhancement, and applications where light transmission and depth are critical.

Primary Property Optical Clarity

Primary Oxides ZnO, Na₂O, K₂O

Matt Frits

Controlled matting for contemporary aesthetics

Precisely formulated to produce controlled surface matting through crystallisation or phase separation during firing. Delivers high transparency, low-sheen finishes for contemporary tile designs and natural-look surfaces.

Primary Property Low Sheen

Primary Oxides CaO, MgO, BaO, SrO

Special Frits

Custom formulations for specific requirements

Bespoke compositions developed in collaboration with your technical team. Whether you need specific thermal expansion coefficients, unusual firing ranges, or unique aesthetic effects — we engineer to your exact specification.

Primary Property Custom Engineered

Primary Oxides Confidential

Ceramic Glaze Manufacture

The primary application. Our frits control flow, opacity, colour development, and firing behaviour in ceramic glazes for floor tiles and wall tiles.

Printing Powder Production

Fine-milled frits serve as the base material for digital inkjet printing powders, enabling high-definition decoration with metallic, glossy, matt, and textured effects.

Granilla Manufacturing

Frits are the raw feedstock for our own granilla line. Crushed and sized to precise granulometries, they become the texture-creating particles applied to tile surfaces.

High-Temperature Stability

Withstand firing cycles from 900°C to 1200°C without degradation or colour shift

Controlled Fusibility

Precise melt onset temperatures for predictable glaze flow and surface development

Chemical Insolubility

No leaching of raw materials after fusion — food-safe and durable for all end uses

Batch-to-Batch Consistency

Tight compositional tolerances ensure every production run meets your specifications

Wide Opacity Range

From fully transparent to completely opaque through alumina and zirconia loading

Customisable Gloss Level

Surface tension control from ultra-matt to high-gloss finishes across all firing ranges

Thermal Expansion Matching

Coefficients precisely matched to tile body for zero-crack adhesion and long-term stability

Eco-Responsible Chemistry

Lead-free, cadmium-free formulations — compliant with international safety and environmental standards
