  • Glass and ceramic objects having durable lustrous coatings and methods of producing
    Patent number: 5747153
    Abstract: Glass objects and glazed ceramic objects have a durable thin lustruous coating of a flux-free and frit-free inorganic based luster pigment particles. An application method comprises initially applying the pigment particles to a surface of the glass or ceramic object at a level of from about 0.1 gram to about one gram per square foot and then heating the surface to a temperature and for a time sufficient to fix the luster pigment particles directly to the surface. The resultant lustrous coating is less than about 25 microns in thickness.

  • Methods of producing durable lustrous coating on vitreous objects
    Patent number: 5366763
    Abstract: An application method for flux-free, frit-free luster pigments based on inorganic platelet-like particles with at least one metal oxide surface coating comprises initially applying the pigments to a vitreous surface such as a vitreous enamel on a metal substrate, a vitreous glaze on a ceramic substrate, glass, or an overglaze on a glass, enameled metal or glazed ceramic substrate. The vitreous surface is in a fused or unfused state prior to the luster pigment application. The luster pigment is surface applied to the vitreous surface. Next, the surface is heated to a temperature and for a time sufficient to fix the luster pigments to the surface.

  • Weighting oil substitutes
    Patent number: 4705690
    Abstract: The present invention relates to edible, but non-absorbable and non-digestible, halogenated liquid polyesters as weighting oils in carbonated and non-carbonated beverages. It has now been found that bromination of polyol fatty acid ester compounds does not affect their absorption properties, solubility, viscosity, or flavor. Thus the brominated polyol fatty acid ester compounds can be used as weighting oils in beverages with substantially no absorption of bromine by the consumer.
