Abstract: A color deepening agent comprises an aqueous resin composition obtained by polymerizing a monomer having a polymerizable unsaturated bond, in the presence of a polyurethane emulsion having a thermosetting reactivity, the refractive index of a dry film of said aqueous resin composition being lower than 1.50.

Abstract: Green ceramic tapes are prepared which comprise a finely divided ceramic powder and a water-compatible polyurethane resin binder. The green tapes are prepared by casting a water-based slip containing the ceramic powder and the water-compatible polyurethane resin binder in the form of the tape and then drying the formed tape. The drying is preferably conducted in two stages, in the first of which a relatively humid atmosphere is maintained.
