While functionality is of central importance in modern bathroom design, appearance are also of the utmost importance. While high-temperature ceramic decals not only provide bathroom ceramics with a beautiful decorative effect, they can also prolong the life and durability of bathroom ceramics. In this article, we will introduce the concept, production process, and advantages of high-temperature ceramic decals and how to choose an appropriate decal type. We will also present Yutai’s professional service in decal production.

What are High-Temperature Ceramic Decals?

High-temperature ceramic decals are an ornamental product specially developed for high-temperature firing and can be applied to toilets, washbasins, bathtubs, and other bathroom ceramics. Unlike low-temperature decals, high-temperature decals fully bond with the ceramic substrate during firing to form a wear-resistant, solid decorative layer.

They are typically comprised of a heat-resistant transfer carrier, glaze, and ink. After undergoing a special process, they can withstand high-temperature firing and will neither peel nor fade. In addition to offering a full color and design range, this decal also offers endurance for years to come, making it a significant decorative option for modern-day high-end bathroom facilities.

High-Temperature Decal Manufacturing and Firing Process

Learning how to make decals allows manufacturers to have more control over product quality and production efficiency. The major procedures are:

Design Phase

• Design a pattern layout, define color gradations, and decorative effects.
• Create a custom pattern based on customer demand and product shape.

Printing Phase

• Use screen printing or four-color printing technology to precisely print the pattern onto transfer paper.
• Use clear color gradations to create the desired visual effect after high-temperature firing.

Applied Decal and Decorative Application

• Apply the pattern on the transfer paper to the base surface.
• Either dry or wet application process can be employed to develop a bubble-free, even pattern.

Firing Phase

• The decal and the base body are fired at high temperature in a kiln.
• In firing, the decal is fully integrated into the base body to form a permanent decorative coating.

Finished Product

• After being fired, the decals are vividly colored and have transparent layers.
• The decals are glossy and smooth in appearance, wear-resistant, and corrosion-resistant, and they do not lose their appearance over time.

Key Benefits of High-Temperature Decals for Sanitary Ware

High-temperature ceramic decals are popular among bath products primarily because they have the following advantages:

Advantage Category	Description
High Durability	After being fired, they stick to the base and become waterproof, scratch-proof, and chemical-proof.
Environmentally Friendly	Formulations that are cadmium and lead-free meet worldwide environmental laws.
Long-Term Color Retention	Once fired, the colors remain deep and rich, and they do not degrade over time.
Flexible Design	Use of detailed patterns, corporate logos, and metallic sheen is permitted.
Extensive Flexibility	Accommodates a wide range of bathroom ceramic bases and a wide range of firing atmospheres.

These advantages not only make bathroom products more beautiful but also quite well eliminate defects in production, improve efficiency, and provide tangible economic benefits to purchasers.

How to Choose the Appropriate High-Temperature Decal for Bathroom Products

The choice of appropriate decal material is the secret to production efficiency and quality of the final product. B-end users must be mindful of the following key points when purchasing or using high-temperature decals:

Evaluate firing temperature and base material: Verify that the decal does not alter color or lose adhesion after being subjected to production temperatures.

Define the style of design: Choose from various graphics styles, such as modern, minimalist, and retro, based on your positioning of the brand and product line.

Maximize production efficiency: Choosing materials that can be automatically processed has the potential to reduce production cycles and increase yields.

Sample Testing: Perform a test firing before mass production to confirm color, adhesion, and surface finish for batch consistency.
