Description

Patented Dec. '15, 1942 UNITED STAT PROCESS FOR MAKINGWHITE CLOUDED ENAMEL Ignaz Kreidl, Cleveland, Ohio; vested in the Alien Property Custodian No Drawing. Application August 21, 1936, Serial No. 97,286. In.
' Claims.
This invention relates to a process for makin white clouded enamel, more particularly iron enamel; by gas clouding, the white clouding being brought about, by development of small gas bubbles from substances which decompose at the burning-in temperature, which substances are added to the enamel composition on the mill instead of the usual solid white clouding agents.
The present invention depends upon the discovery that by means of certain metal oxides or compounds thereof, such as more particularly oxides of iron, antimony, cerium, uranium,
Austria September 25, 1935 arsenic or mixtures containing these oxides, the
whiteness value of the gas clouding can be very considerably enhanced, whence a decolourising efiect may be allied to gas clouding means which .have' a colouring effect (for example may give rise to the formation of substances having a colouring action such as carbon compounds having a colouring effect), obviously in consequence of the better burning brought about by their oxidising effect at the burning-in temperature.
The process according to the invention consists in this that metal oxides, such as antimony I oxide, uranium oxide, cerium oxide, iron oxide,
arsenic oxide, or compounds of these oxides with other metal oxides, are introduced into the enamel independently of the fact whether the compound added as gas clouding agent contains one of these oxides or not, the introduction of these oxides into the enamel however being made in such small quantities that in the enamel the oxide is contained only in a quantity such that any clouding that may be attributable to the oxide itself is without influence, but nevertheless in a quantity suflicient for the oxide to enhance the whiteness value.
Processes for making white clouded enamel are already known in which the clouding action of .the solid substances usual as clouding agents for enamel, such as for example the oxides of tin,
. zirconium, antimony or the like, is strengthened by addition in the mill of substances which produce their eiiect by gas clouding. Processes are also known in which compounds or complexes of the metals of the white'clouding agents group, which split of! gases even in the slip at the buming-in temperature. are added to the enamel on the mill in quantities which are so small that the solid residue can bring about no clouding effects, whilst on the other hand the volatile porgas clouding agent introduced with the oxide, as a result of which a correct adjustment to the whiteness value of the enamel, at which the present invention aims, is not possible. In these known processes the eflect may arise that either too little metal oxide is introduced into the enamel with correct. addition of clouding agent, or too much clouding agent must be added with the correct addition-of metal oxide.
In the process according to the present invention the action of these oxides and compounds is an action which is quite different-in nature from that of a clouding action. The action of these oxides appears irrespective of whether these oxides or compounds are added to the enamel on the mill or are fused with the raw substances forming the enamel. The action also already appears with such small quantities that any clouding efiect attributable to these oxides themselves can be ignored. How different this action is from a clouding action is apparent from ing to far below 1%, an increase of this content above 1% bringing with it no further advantages as regards the action at which the invention aims. Preferably an addition is made in such a small quantity that, independently of the fact whether, the compounds added as gas clouding agent contain one of these oxides. or not, the total quantity of these oxides does not exceed 1%, and
advantageously lies below 1%. v
The action of these substances is obviouslyto be attributed to this that in the quantities in which they exert their. efiect in the process according to the invention they are without injurious auxiliary efiect on the slop or a constituent of the slop.
Not only however are the oxides of antimony, uranium, iron, cerium and arsenic, all of which are capable of forming several oxidation stages,
- suitable for carrying out the process according tion suiiices owing to the development of small!v gas bubbles to impart a white clouding as a result of these bubbles.
In these known processes the quantity of metal oxide for example stands'in a definite ratio to the quantity of gas clouding agent or of the decomposable portion which is active as gas clouding agent and'the quantity to be added as clouding agent depends on the quantity oi the to the invention, that is to say for introduction into the enamel, but also mixtures containing such oxides and also compounds of these oxides may be.used, more particularly their compounds with other oxides, e. g. antimoniates or the like.
The process according to the invention is particularly suitable; for those methods of making white clouded enamel in which gas clouding agents are used in conjunction with enamel frits, which in the slop possess larger colloidal portions than normal enamel fri-ts. For example the colloidal properties or the colloidal portions mately fluorine with a proportion between 4 alkali and boric acid'ofdta parts alkali to one part boric acid. By raising the fluorine content to approximately double the amount, that is to say to about 12% fluorine for example, frits in a colloid-dike state with a normal ratio of alkali to boric acid may be obtained, the fluorine how'- ever preferably being introduced in the form of alkali fluosilicate, such as for example sodium iluosilicate.

In these examples a frit particularly suitable for gas cloudings, and in fact a fluorine-rich frit of highly colloidal properties was used as enamel frit, in which the fluorine content originates frflm alkali fluorides or alkali silicoiluoi'ides. However, the invention of course is not limited to such frits.
