Ceramic glazes

We develop ceramic glazes with transparent, opaque, matte, glossy, semi-matte, and technical finishes, tailored to diverse aesthetic and functional objectives.

We also formulate solutions with specific properties—such as anti-glare finishes, non-slip surfaces, and polishable glazes—as well as products featuring mineral, textured, or depth effects.

Formulations are adjusted based on the substrate, application system, firing cycle, and the performance requirements of the final product.

Each ceramic body has a specific composition, shrinkage rate, and thermal behavior. For this reason, we tailor the glaze formulation to the characteristics of the ceramic body and the production process.
During development, we take into account parameters such as body shrinkage, the coefficient of thermal expansion, water absorption, firing temperature, and the interaction between the piece's various layers.
When a client provides their own ceramic body or supplies process details—such as clay type, temperature range, atmosphere, or firing curve—we conduct laboratory tests and make chemical and physical adjustments. We do this until we verify that the combination of body, glaze, and kiln yields stable, reproducible results.
This process helps minimize the risk of defects such as crazing, cracking, peeling, or adhesion issues.

Yes. We develop glazes designed for various temperature ranges and firing conditions, including processes for porcelain stoneware, floor and wall tiles, and technical ceramics.
Formulations can be adapted for products intended for outdoor use, high-traffic areas, polishing processes, or applications requiring high mechanical, chemical, or surface resistance.
The suitability of each glaze is validated by considering the substrate, the firing cycle, the product's end use, and the required technical performance specifications.

Glazing enhances both the technical performance and the visual finish of the ceramic piece.
An appropriate formulation can provide impermeability, wear resistance, chemical and mechanical protection, ease of cleaning, and greater surface durability.
It also allows for the control of aesthetic variables—such as color, gloss, matte level, transparency, texture, and visual depth—while maintaining stable behavior during industrial production.

Yes. We develop custom ceramic glazes tailored to each client's technical, production, and aesthetic requirements.
Formulations can be adjusted to modify properties such as gloss or matte levels, transparency, texture, fusibility, surface resistance, polishability, or slip resistance.
We also adapt the glaze to actual production line conditions, including the substrate, application system, decoration method, kiln, and firing curve.

Stability is managed by controlling variables such as rheology, viscosity, density, adhesion, fusibility, thermal expansion, and the compatibility between the glaze, the substrate, and other applied materials.
Formulations undergo testing and adjustment prior to industrial-scale production to ensure consistent behavior during application, drying, and firing.
The goal is to reduce batch-to-batch variations, minimize surface defects, and facilitate the reproduction of the finish under actual production conditions.

Yes. The formulation can be adjusted based on the system used on the production line, application conditions, and the required thickness.
During development, aspects such as viscosity, density, suspension, drying speed, and interaction with engobes, inks, granules, or other decorative materials are analyzed.
This adjustment ensures uniform application and proper integration of the glaze into the ceramic process.

Yes. Our technical team jointly analyzes the substrate, glaze, decoration, application system, and firing conditions to identify the root cause of any issues.
Based on this analysis, adjustments can be made to the formulation, or modifications to specific process parameters can be proposed, to correct problems such as adhesion issues, crazing, pinholing, gloss variations, lack of uniformity, or other surface defects.
