Enamel paste compositions and methods of forming enamel coatings using said compositions

Abstract

An enamel paste composition includes: glass frit; a pigment; an organic carrier medium; and an oxygen source material to facilitate clean removal of the organic carrier medium components during firing, wherein the oxygen source material includes a combination of: (i) a first oxygen source material which releases oxygen at a temperature of less than 350° C.; and (ii) a second oxygen source material which releases oxygen at a temperature of greater than 350° C. The first oxygen source material can be magnesium peroxide and the second oxygen source material can be barium peroxide. The enamel paste composition is utilized to form enamel coated products without requiring a pre-firing step.
