Engobes consist of finely-ground clay powders finished with pigments and high-quality glass materials which are applied to the ceramic body. In this process, the brick or tile is not completely sealed, but acquires a colour-fast, air-permeable surface through which it ‘breathes‘. The product can be applied by centrifuging, spraying, dipping, immersion, pouring – or even by sprinkling. ENGOSYN® is an environmentally-friendly engobe for almost all basic ceramic bodies, firing curves and kiln types in the heavy clay industry. It consists of top-quality raw materials for processing in factories making roofing tiles, clinker bricks and floor tiles and is suitable for firing temperatures from 850°C to 1250°C.

All pigments are prepared for our customers on request to suit their individual requirements and production parameters. The range of colours is limitless; these pages show just a small selection of the colours and options which can be used to refine an enormous range of ceramic surfaces. The gloss scale ranges from matt to high gloss to satin.

As a finished product, all engobes are supplied either in powdered form or as a slurry (‘ready-to-use‘). They are easy to process because it is not necessary to add viscosityregulating and stabilizing additives. Powdered engobes are simply mixed with water and are then easy to process. Slurries can be processed immediately after stirring.
