- All manufactured frits are tested against standard approved with the customer.
- Only material that matches with the standards is dispatched to customer.
- No material is dispatched without testing.
- Bruker S2 Ranger XRF Machine for Element Analysis
- Cilas Particle Size Analyzer for best Glaze effects in Compound Materials
- Dilatometer for testing the thermal expansion
- Laboratory pot mills for grinding frits and making glaze.
- Laboratory electric roller kiln from Europe to test surface at any temperature.
- Gas fired lab roller kiln to test tiles in “Real Time” for the surface characteristics post glazing
- Spectrophotometer to test opacity / transparency / Whiteness
- Ceramic Tiles:
Glazes for Ceramic Tiles is our major Business Area. We manufacture and supply frits and compounds for
- Wall tiles
- Floor tiles and
- Glaze Vitrified Tiles (GVT)
- Diamond Grinding Wheels: We manufacture frits for making diamond grinding wheels. This frit powder melts around 650 degrees. This frit can be used along with other bonding materials
- Paint Industry: Futura Ceramics make frits for high temperature paint purpose also. This material is supplied in powder having less than 20 micron size. It is used along with other remaining materials.
- Roof tiles frits and glazes: Futura Ceramics manufactures frits for roofing tile purpose. We do supply engobe and transparent glaze. Colours can be added in transparent glaze to get attractive roof tiles.
- We offer our glazing service solutions at your plant, by arranging for our glaze representative to visit your factory and ensure the optimum use of the frit / composto in your specific plant.
