In ceramics, the water-based digital system represents a topic of great interest. The R&D departments of all the players have been doing research for some time, trying to improve the sector with a technology that is already widely used in many other fields of industrial production. The #technical #problems of both the application machines and the products (such as inks and glues) seem to have been overcome, and the time is ripe for a definitive diffusion of this technology which certainly offers many #advantages at a technical, aesthetic and environmental level. After a brief introduction to the chemical nature and main characteristics of water-based glues, the episode focuses on the most significant advantages promoted by this important type of product, also highlighting its underlying mechanisms.
