Glass decorating (including ceramics and porcelain), protective coatings, labels, and decorative finishing processes begin with understanding the various types of glass (e.g., Soda-lime, Borosilicate,) chemical properties, and surface chemistry. Contamination sources at any point in the process stream must be identified and eliminated. During manufacturing, cold-end coatings are often applied to add superior scuff protection and lubricity. These types of coatings alter the surface wettability and often require pretreatment to achieve maximum adhesion bonding. Specific surface pretreatments provide superior finished products.
