The decoration of silicate ceramics plays a key role for aesthetic and technical purposes. The digital decoration technology does not involve only pigments and dyes applications but is increasingly addressed to a full digital application. The development of materials and processes for digital printing suitable systems are therefore of fundamental importance. In addition, competition from other markets in critical raw materials supply requires the development of alternative decoration materials. This session will cover the development and behaviour of decoration materials, assessing environmental sustainability aspects and green chemistry.
