The first water-based Full Digital solution is already totally consolidated in the market, several manufacturers are already applying it in their products.

Torrecid’s new water-based glazes and inks are already totally consolidated in the market. The multinational’s commitment to innovation and sustainability has given, as a result, the first water-based solution for glazing and decorating ceramic surfaces in a Full Digital way. ECOINKCID® is added up in this way to the wide range of inks and glazes offered by Torrecid to its customers. Torrecid, glazes and inks, it is indeed possible to reduce the distance between different application within the production line. It is also relevant to mention that the water-based ECOINKCID® inks and glazes are perfectly compatibles with all the other kind of applications in the ceramic industry. Alternatively, one characteristic that will improve the production processes is the easy elimination during the firing process. The water base of the new ECOINK-CID® solution is eliminated quickly, just after being introduced into the kiln due to its low evaporation point, which facilitates the degassing process. And last but not least, esthetically speaking, a new advantage offered by ECOINK-CID® is a better integration of the chromatic inks in the glaze. As a result, products with a more natural finishes are obtained, which also have a better visual quality, offering a greater definition and realism of colors and effects.

Leadership in Innovation

With the launch of the new ECOINK-CID® its leadership in innoglobalized multinational products, services, solutions and future trends to the ceramic sector, has undertaken, in the last months, the new solution which has revolutionized this industry. This solution is ECOINKCID®, the new digital inks and glazes which achieve the best effects in ceramics with waterbased formulations.

Water-based solutions

Pioneers company dedicated to providing Torrecid has been the pioneer company in offering water-based solutions for the glazing and the digital decoration of ceramic surfaces. ECOINK-CID® technology, patented by Torrecid, offers the most complete range of products such as: glazes with different levels of glossiness, matte glazes with all kind of finishes, inks that cover the entire spectrum of colors, ceramic effect inks, metallic effects for vitrified surfaces, glue solutions for the application of grits…all made with water-based formulations. But these are not the only advantages that the waterbased inks and glazes are offering. As a matter of facts, the ECOINK-CID® solution also makes the waste management easier – more ecological and simpler since the sweeping can be done with water – the emissions to the atmosphere are reduced and the work and production environment is improved, while offering to the customer the best solutions to the new emission laws and other environmental protocols.

New application advantages

Along with ECOINK-CID®, Torrecid has managed to offer to its customers new opportunities to obtain the best product possible. By reducing the drying time of water-based digital solution, Torrecid has demonstrated vation, defining future trends in ceramics industry. Founded in 1963 in L’Alcora (Castellón, Spain), the company has carried out several revolutions that has provoked huge changes in the ceramic industry such as “single firing” in its beginning, Digital Revolution in recent years and the implementation of the Full-Digital Ceramic. By provoking those disruptive changes, Torrecid has become the main reference in terms of ceramic innovation and it never stopped growing since then: we are now present in 28 countries and we have customers in more than 130. Also, ECOINK-CID® is a step forward for STYLE-CID® products that Torrecid introduces as future trends, because to the high esthetic quality and elegance of Torrecid designs it is now added the environmental sustainability improvements provided by the water-based inks of the multinational business group. As a conclusion, Torrecid’s new ECOINK-CID® solution starts a new path in ceramics towards an already existing much more sustainable future as it is required by the society, with the goal that this innovation will keep on being the principal reference in the coating industry.
