Where are ceramic pigments typically used?
**1. Daily-use Ceramics**
The most common application area, including tableware (bowls, plates, cups), tea sets, coffee sets, and more. These are decorated using overglaze, underglaze, or in-glaze techniques—such as the blue of blue-and-white porcelain or the soft hues of famille rose—enhancing aesthetic appeal while meeting safety standards for food contact.
**2. Architectural Ceramics**
Used for floor tiles, wall tiles, sanitary ware, and other building materials. They offer a wide range of glaze colors to meet decorative needs for both interior and exterior walls and floors, while also providing essential properties like wear resistance and weather durability.
**3. Artistic and Craft Ceramics**
Applied to decorative porcelain items such as vases, ornaments, and sculptures, often adorned with landscapes, birds and flowers, or human figures. This category serves as a popular medium for blending traditional craftsmanship with modern design.
**4. Sanitary Ware**
Surface coloring is applied to products like toilets, washbasins, and bathtubs, requiring stable water resistance and long-lasting durability.
**5. Industrial and Specialty Ceramics**
Used in electronic ceramics, linings for chemical equipment, and other applications, providing markings, functional coatings, or specific requirements for temperature resistance and corrosion resistance.
**6. Ceramic Jewelry and Gifts**
Small items such as jewelry and keychains utilize pigments to achieve vibrant colors.
When selecting ceramic pigments, it is essential to choose appropriately based on firing temperature, service environment, and safety standards—particularly for food-contact applications.
