Ceramic Paint Sets
Ceramic paint sets are collections of paints specifically formulated for application on ceramic surfaces, often accompanied by necessary tools and accessories. They enable decorative and functional customization of ceramic objects.
Material
The core component is ceramic paint, which differs from standard acrylic or oil paints. Key characteristics include:
- Composition: Typically based on acrylic polymers, but with finer pigments and additives for adhesion to smooth, non-porous ceramic. Some sets utilize epoxy-based paints for increased durability.
- Firing Requirements: Many ceramic paints require heat-setting (firing) in a kiln to become permanent and dishwasher-safe. "Air-dry" ceramic paints exist, relying on polymer cross-linking for adhesion, but are generally less durable.
- Pigments: Available in a wide range of colors, including standard hues, metallic finishes, and specialized effects like glow-in-the-dark or color-changing paints.
Purpose
The primary purpose of ceramic paint sets is to allow users to:
- Decorate: Personalize ceramic items like mugs, plates, vases, tiles, and figurines.
- Restore: Repair chipped or faded ceramic surfaces.
- Create: Produce unique ceramic artwork and functional pieces.
Function
Ceramic paints function by:
- Adhesion: Bonding to the ceramic surface through physical and chemical interactions. Proper surface preparation (cleaning and degreasing) is crucial.
- Coating: Providing a protective layer, resisting scratches and minor abrasions. The extent of protection varies significantly based on paint type and firing process.
- Coloration: Delivering aesthetic appeal through pigment dispersion and light reflection.
- Durability: Offering varying levels of resistance to washing, UV exposure, and general wear, depending on whether the paint is air-dried or kiln-fired.
Usage Scenarios
- Home Crafting: A popular hobby for decorating kitchenware, decorative items, and personalized gifts.
- Educational Settings: Used in art classes to teach painting techniques and ceramic decoration.
- Pottery Studios: Often offered as part of guided painting sessions.
- Professional Restoration: Used by artists and restorers to repair and revitalize ceramic objects.
Common Types
- Air-Dry Ceramic Paints:
- Acrylic-Based: Most common type for beginners. Easy to use, water-based, and requires no firing. Less durable.
- Enamel-Based: Offers slightly higher durability than standard acrylics, but still requires no firing.
- Kiln-Firing Ceramic Paints:
- Underglazes: Applied before the final glaze firing. Offers a wide range of colors and effects. Requires knowledge of glazing techniques.
- Overglazes (China Paints): Applied on top of a glazed surface and fired at a lower temperature. Suitable for detailed designs and decorative accents.
- Lusters: Specialized overglazes containing metallic compounds, creating iridescent or gold/silver effects.
- One-Stroke Ceramic Paints: Designed for specific painting techniques, allowing for seamless blending and shading. Often used for floral designs.
- Porcelain Paints: Specifically formulated for delicate porcelain surfaces, requiring precise application and firing techniques.
Based on the provided information, “ceramic paint sets” can be classified under several HS codes, depending on the specific composition of the sets. Here’s a breakdown:
- 3207100000: Prepared pigments, prepared opacifiers, prepared colors and similar preparations. This code applies if the paint sets primarily consist of prepared pigments or colors used for ceramic applications. The two-digit sections represent: Chapter 32 (Chemicals and their allied industries), Heading 07 (Prepared pigments, prepared opacifiers, prepared colors, and similar preparations).
- 3207200000: Vitrifiable enamels and glazes, engobes (slips) and similar preparations. If the sets include vitrifiable enamels, glazes, or engobes specifically designed for ceramics, this code is applicable. The two-digit sections represent: Chapter 32 (Chemicals and their allied industries), Heading 20 (Vitrifiable enamels and glazes).
- 3210000000: Other paints and varnishes (including enamels, lacquers and distempers); prepared water pigments of a kind used for finishing leather. This code could apply if the paint sets are formulated as paints or varnishes, even if specifically for ceramic use. The two-digit sections represent: Chapter 32 (Chemicals and their allied industries), Heading 00 (Other paints and varnishes).
Regarding HS code 3207100000, 3207200000 and 3210000000, the total tax rate is 58.1%, 59.9% and 56.8% respectively. These rates include a base tariff of 3.1%, 4.9% and 1.8% respectively, plus additional tariffs of 25.0% and a further 30.0% applicable after April 2, 2025.
