Enamelling Services

About the Enamelling Services heading in Yellow™

Look for information on enamelling services in Australia under this Yellow™ heading. Enamel is a coloured glassy coating on the surface of articles made of metal, glass, or pottery. The process of applying this coat of enamel is known as enamelling. Enamelling has been a widely used technique of decoration and there are a large number of firms providing both individual and industrial enamelling services in Australia. Yellow™ helps you find the right providers that provide competitively priced, friendly and efficient enamelling services in all states in Australia.

Enamel powder is often applied as a paste, and may be transparent or opaque when fired; vitreous enamel can be applied to most metals. It has many excellent properties: it is smooth, hard, chemically resistant, and durable, can assume brilliant, long-lasting colours, and cannot burn. Its disadvantages are its tendency to crack or shatter when the substrate is stressed or bent. Its durability has found it many functional applications: early 20th century advertising signs, interior oven walls, cooking pots, exterior walls of kitchen appliances, cast iron bathtubs, farm storage silos, and processing equipment such as chemical reactors and pharmaceutical chemical process tanks.

Colour in enamel is obtained by the addition of various minerals, often metal oxides cobalt, praseodymium, iron, or neodymium. The last creates delicate shades ranging from pure violet through wine-red and warm grey. Enamel can be transparent, opaque or opalescent (translucent), which is a variety that gains a milky opacity the longer it is fired. Different enamel colours cannot be mixed to make a new colour, in the manner of paint. This produces tiny specks of both colours; although the eye can be tricked by grinding colours together to an extremely fine, flour-like, powder. Yellow™ can help you find a wide range of enamelling services, in all states of Australia.
