Abstract
Abstract The invention is directed to a process for producing a vitreous coating composition of the type comprising a vitreous bonding flux or frit and an oxidation inducing agent, the composition being capable, after the addition of suitable adjuncts and firing, of enhancing the oxidation of organic soils deposited thereon at temperatures in the range 300° to 550°F and includes the steps of smelting the vitreous frit-producing raw materials in the absence of the oxidation inducing agent, quenching the smelted materials to produce the frit, and incorporating with the frit the oxidation inducing agent in the form of a silicate bearing ore containing an oxide of a metal selected from the group consisting of nickel, cobalt, manganese, copper, chromium, iron and aluminium.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
119 words
A composition adapted to be sintered on a substrate to form a vitreous enamel coating capable of enhancing oxidation of organic soils deposited thereon in the range of 300° F. to 550°F., consisting essentially of a comminuted mixture of previously smelted and quenched frit-producing material, and a separate oxidation inducing agent in the form of a silicate bearing ore selected from the group consisting of Rhodonite (MnSiO 3 ), Tephroite MnSiO 4 ), Alleghanyite (5MnO 2 . 2SiO 2 ), Spessartite [Mn 3 Al 2 (SiO 4 ) 3 ] and Sobralite [(MnFeCaMg)SiO 3 ] in which the proportion of oxidation inducing agent to frit in the comminuted mixture is in the range of 90:10 to 60:40 by weight.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
119 words
