COLOR & PATTERN OPTIONS
Ceramic Frit
Specifications
Choosing a color: Tristar stocks the 13 ceramic fit colors, listed above, and can match most custom colors with the aid of a sample, paint swatch, or PMS color chart number. There are, however, some color matching limitations with ceramic frit.
Size limitations:
Max: 84"x156"
Min: 12"x12"
Application and Limitations:
Ceramic frit is fired onto the surface of the glass to form a permanent bond that prevents removal via ordinary means. Ceramic frit may be laminated, with the painted surface on the exterior or in direct contact with the laminate.
No edge deletion is required when applied to the interior of an IG, though application to the interior of the unit is not recommended.

Opaci-Coat
Specifications
Choosing a color:Tristar stocks the 10 ICD Opacity-Coat 300 colors and can match almost any custom color with the aid of a sample, paint swatch, or PMS color chart number. In general, ICD Opaci-coat tends to be able to match a broader and more vibrant spectrum of colors than ceramic frit.
Size limitations:
Max: 84"x156"
Min: 12"x12"
*A spray technique may be used to apply Opaci-Coat 300 to the surface of the glass allowing, in some circumstances, for greater widths of glass to be processed.*
Application and Limitations:
ICD Opaci-Coat 300 is the preferred product for laminated glass applications. However, it may NOT BE APPLIED TO A SURFACE COMING IN DIRECT CONTACT WITH THE LAMINATE. ICD Opaci-Coat 300 may not share the same air space with any soft-coat Low-E coating.
ICD Opaci-Coat 300 must be edge deleted when applied to the interior of an IG to allow the PIB on the spacer to properly adhere to the surface of the glass, though application to the interior of the unit is not recommended . This edge deletion is also necessary in certain structurally glazed applications that require a direct bond of the adhesive to the surface of the glass.
