Characteristics of Frits
These glassy inorganic coatings are utilized throughout a variety of industries, providing very unique characteristics to enhance the functionality of components. They provide excellent abrasion resistance, dielectric strength, corrosion resistance and chemical resistance. In most cases, frit coatings can operate at extreme temperatures while retaining all of their physical properties. These coatings weather extremely well, clean up easily, and are aesthetic in appearance.
