  Dark Black Soluble Salt  
¡ô Name: Dark Black Soluble Salt
 
¡ô Sample: Greenish-black
¡ô Origin: Spain

¡ô Supplier:

 ITACA

¡ô Composition:

 100% Organometallic Complex of Ruthenium(¢ó)
5~10% Ru(¢ó)
90~95% Aqueous Solution

¡ôMixing Proportion:

 Vehicle: Glycol Based Preparation 6.2%
Binding Agent: Polysaccharide 4.7%
For example: 1000 gram of Dark Black Soluble Salt + 62 gram of Vehicle + 47 gram of Binding Agent

¡ô Preparation:
1. Add corresponding Binding Agent (4.7%) in certain proportion of  Vehicle (6.2%), mix them until there aren¡¯t any clotting.
2. Add Soluble Salt, shake and mix all the materials until they are well-balanced. It needs about 15-30 minutes.
3. Lay it aside for about 2 hours at least. Then it can be used.
¡ô Application:
1. Dissolve the Penetrating Agent (powder) in water using the proportion of 10-15%.
2. Apply the Soluble Salts on the dry normal body and wait until the salt is dry. Spray the solution of Penetrating Agent on the normal body 2-3 times. According to the normal body it needs 175-250 grams per square meter.
For example on a piece of 400 X 400 mm2:
400 X 400 ¡Ö 0.16 m2
If you prepare to use 200 g/m2 then
0.16 m2 X 200 g = 32 g/pc (90% water + 10% Penetrating Agent)
¡ô Point:
En resume, using the solution of Penetration Agent by Rotocolor system or screen printing techniques can enhances the penetration and definition of soluble colors. (For some clients they prefer to use only water in order to reduce the cost but of course it cannot gain the same effect.) Recommendation from our supplier is: increasing the solution will enhances the penetration; increasing the proportion of Penetrating Agent (powder) (eg.: from 10% up to 15%), will enhances the definition of the colors but will reduce the penetration of soluble salts. So the proportion must be controlled according to the effect expected.

  Pink Soluble Salt  
 
¡ôName:
 Pink Soluble Salt
¡ôSample:
 Yellow
¡ôOrigin:
 Spain
¡ôSupplier:
 ITACA
¡ôComposition:
 100% organometallic Complex of Gold(¢ó) in Aqueous Solution
0.1~3% Au(¢ó)
97~99.9% Aqueous Solution
¡ôMixing Proportion:
 Vehicle: Glycol Based Preparation 5.5%
Binding Agent: Polysaccharide 4%
For example: 1000 gram of Soluble Salt of Pink + 55 gram of Vehicle + 40 gram of Binding Agent.
¡ôPreparation:
1. Add corresponding Binding Agent (4%) in certain proportion of Vehicle (5.5%), mix them until there aren¡¯t any clotting.
2. Add Soluble Salt, shake and mix all the materials until they are well-balanced. It needs about 15-30 minutes.
3. Lay it aside for about 2 hours at least. Then it can be used.

¡ôApplication:

Because the Soluble Salts of Pink, Red, Violet contain gold they are more difficult to penetrate into the normal body than the other soluble salts we need to follow the two manners:
1. For the second fire:
  The normal body is a little soft before the first fire, which is not suitable for the penetration of the Soluble Salts of Pink, Red and Violet, so for the big porcelain tiles such as 600X600, 800X800, 1000X1000, etc. we can follow the above application after the first fire, then apply the soluble salts and go along with the second fire. Then you can get the effect you want.
2. For the first fire:
Use the Penetrating Agent to get the same effect:
1)
Try the best to increase the water absorption, for example: from 18.5% up to 21%, or   higher.
2) Dissolve the Penetrating Agent (powder) in water using the proportion of 10-15%.
3) Apply the soluble salts on the dry normal body and wait until the salt is dry. (Dry normal body refers to the total piece and not only the surface.) At the end of the printing line, spray the solution of Penetrating Agent on the normal body 2-3 times or more. It is better to spray it when the normal body is dry since last time spray. According to the physical character of the normal body it needs 175-250 grams per square meter. For example: for the piece of 600x600 m2 is about 150~200 gram.
4) Prolong the time before the piece load to the kiln. That means after spraying the solution of Penetrating Agent lay the piece longer for drying before firing. For example: you can do some tests: lay the piece aside 30 minutes, 3 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours then see the different effects after polishing.
