Architectural glass enamels
Decoration of architectural building
glasses is on trend because of
marketing and branding needs. The
customers demand highly decorative
glass surfaces in buildings. Glass gives
architects and specifiers practical and
energy efficient choices in building
design. The enamel series Ink is a
complete blend of intensely opaque
chromatic colours: screen print, roller
coatings, and paints, curtain coatings,
paints, and sprays coating in various
forms of printing on glasses.
Apart from the ink matching and
mixing services, the inks follow all the
international guidelines (compliance).
Spinks World is a producer,
supplier and distributor of lead-free
architectural glass enamel and inks
applied for artistic, creative and
functional applications. The hightemperature
Belleview Spandrel panel
inks and enamels are used in offices,
other industrial spaces, internal
glass separators and are favourites
in architects. These enamels are
applicable and applied on glass
furniture to make it look premium.

Mirror-like effect ink is a newly
developed and created screen
printing ink (toughened temp.
650°C-680°C) that could be tempered.
In the company’s lab, these inks are
formulated with years of experiments
and specially developed for attraction,
long-lasting results, and weather
changes. It is made of special resins
and pigments of precious metal. The
metal flashing and the flat surface are
very identical to the electroplating
effect.
Beneficial for adorning electronic
signs, high-end home appliances, and
glass furniture. It might change the
appearance of the glass.

Applicable for glass floors, glass stairs
and glass bridges, etc. This enamel
has very strong chemical resistance,
scratch resistance, wear-resistance
and higher durability. The angle of

UV screen printing inks for printing
on glass jar and container
Ruco inks, Germany, started
conventional UV screen printing inks
for glass, hollowware, drinkware and
cosmetic packaging in 2012. RUCO
UV Ink 935 UV is a market leader
in this category. At the same time,
the research team at RUCO also
developed an ink suitable for both
UV and LED. Now the company is
introducing the 937 UV+LED inks.
With the introduction of new series
in 2018, the glass printing business
has taken a dynamic turn. Customers
using very high speed machines
of Kammann, Omso or Fermac
can use the same ink for curing by
conventional UV or LED lamps. Speed
of over 120 glass parts per screen per
minute is easily achieved.
The major advantages of this
ink over conventional inks are:
1. Can cure under both the lamps
UV and LED.
2. LED lamps give great savings
on the energy front, so the
inks become great solutions
for hybrid machines where
multiple colours are printed
and require initial colours to
be cured by LED and finally by
UV metal halide lamps.
3. 937 UV LED is an ultramodern
ink with all current
environmental and chemical
norms followed.
Laser marking machine for glass
(MARKOLASER)
The green MARKOLASER machine is
designed for micro-machining of soft
and hard materials, especially marking
on glass and crystal engraving.
High peak power with excellent
beam quality makes this system
indispensable for these applications.
