Ceramics are capable of reducing color irregularities and uneven coating, hard to dissolve into glaze, and excellent in fixation. A water-based paint contains a coloring material, first cellulose nanofibers having a lignin content of 20 to 40 mass % and a water retention of 150 to 300%, and second cellulose nanofibers having a higher viscosity compared to the first cellulose nanofibers, and the water-based paint has a B-type viscosity of 600 cps or higher. Ceramic ware or glassware or the like having painting made on a green body of which surface is formed of silicic acid or silicate compound as a main component, with the water-based paint.

A method of manufacturing a glass container in preparation for direct digital printing includes forming a glass container having a glass wall and applying a primer coating to the glass container. The primer coating is applied by directing an atomized spray of an aqueous primer composition onto the glass container over an adherent base layer, such as a hot-end coating, which deposits the primer coating, followed by heating the primer coating with a heat source such as a flame. Upon being heated, the clarity of the primer coating is increased. As a result, a decorative marking may be printed onto the glass container without having to pretreat the glass container in a way that involves pyrolytically depositing a layer of silicon dioxide onto the glass container prior to printing.

A heat-resistant composition including: a binder resin including at least two of a silicone-modified polyester resin, a siloxane compound, or a silanol compound; a pigment including at least two of iron cobalt chromite black spinel (ICCB), copper chromite black spinel (CCB), iron chromite manganese (ICM), or carbon black; and a catalyst.

The invention relates to a method for producing a semi-transparent motor vehicle design element (3), comprising the following steps:

A providing a dimensionally stable, at least partially light-permeable substrate (1) which is heat-resistant for a temperature of at least 60° C., the substrate (1) having a front side (1a) and a rear side (1b),

B introducing the substrate (1) into a vacuum chamber (2) and applying a first metallic semi-transparent layer (L1) by means of a PVD process to the substrate (1) according to step a) which is situated in the vacuum chamber (2), and

C applying a light-impermeable cover layer (LD) to the front or rear side (1a, 1b) of the substrate (1), the light-impermeable cover layer (LD) containing at least one light-permeable opening (8) for reproducing at least one graphical symbol (SYM),

steps B and C being carried out such that light (LSQ) passing through the at least one opening (8) in the light-impermeable cover layer (LD) from the rear side (1b) towards the front side (1a) of the substrate (1) is incident on the first metallic semi-transparent layer (L1) and at least partially passes outwards through the first metallic semi-transparent layer (L1) in order to project the at least one graphical symbol (SYM) represented by the at least one opening (8).

A curable glass coating composition including 5-70 wt % aliphatic polycarbonate diol, 5-60 wt % crosslinker, 1-20 wt % extender, 4-20 wt % fatty alcohol, and 2-30 wt % crystalline or amorphous powder filler material, and optionally 2-20 wt % aliphatic polyester polyol and 2-20 wt % cycloaliphatic epoxy. The coating composition can be applied to a glass substrate and cured to form a decorative cured polyurethane coating layer on the substrate that has improved caustic and UV resistance.

Coated glass panes having a glass pane and a coating in at least one region of at least one side of the glass pane. The glass pane is composed of glass with SiO.sub.2 and B.sub.2O.sub.3. The coating includes first coating applied in at least one region of the at least one side. The first coating has a binder with SiO.sub.2 and a pigment. The glass pane, in the at least one region, has a flexural strength between at least 5 and at most 170 MPa.

The present disclosure relates to a decoration element comprising a light reflective layer; a light absorbing layer provided on the light reflective layer; and a color developing layer comprising a color film provided on a surface opposite to the surface facing the light absorbing layer of the light reflective layer, between the light reflective layer and the light absorbing layer, or on a surface opposite to the surface facing the light reflective layer of the light absorbing layer.

Disclosed is an electronic device including a glass member having a flat portion and a side portion extending from an edge of the flat portion in at least a partially slanted or curved manner. The side portion includes a first curved portion extending from the flat portion, a second curved portion extending from the first curved portion and connected to the flat portion through the first curved portion, and at least one processing portion formed by at least a part of a border region between the first curved portion and the second curved portion. The at least one processing portion has a different refractive index from at least another portion of the side portion.

The present disclosure relates to products and methods for modifying the reflection of a light source in a fireplace and other products.

A cooking appliance with a cooktop includes a glass-ceramic substrate with a top surface for receiving cookware thereon for heating. The surface includes a coating formed by applying a sol-gel coating to the surface after the surface is roughened to increase the surface roughness of the top surface and improve adhesion of the coating thereon. The sol-gel coating forms a matte finish on the cooktop while having anti-stick properties for cleanability.
