Building Materials

Zschimmer & Schwarz offers digital printing inks specifically developed for decorating building materials that do not require firing after printing. 

The products are available in water-based and solvent-based formulations, allowing selection according to specific production needs. Designed for use on absorbent surfaces, these high-performance inks provide intense colors, stability, and long durability. Their advanced formulation simplifies the production process and enables high-quality decoration combining efficiency and versatility.

We provide an overview of three key material categories and are always at your disposal to develop and design customized solutions for other substrates or specific requirements.

UNFIRED MATERIALS

For kiln-free processes
Once considered unthinkable, digital printing on construction materials now opens up entirely innovative design perspectives. Surfaces that were traditionally neutral become expressive, customizable elements fully integrated into architectural language. This evolution extends, for example, to concrete goods such as concrete pavers or concrete tiles, unlocking broader possibilities and new application scenarios in urban, residential, and contract environments.

 

 

PLASTER

Giving new life to tradition
Advances in digital printing are changing the way plaster is applied, enhancing both its technical performance and versatility. Surface treatments can be precisely controlled, improving consistency, durability, and adaptability to various requirements. This approach extends its suitability across a wider range of interior applications and architectural contexts.

 

WOOD

More than just wood grain
Digital printing on wood creates new possibilities beyond surface aesthetics, allowing precise functional markings, assembly instructions, and optimized material use. Patterns, labels, or structural indicators can be integrated directly during production, reducing waste and optimizing processes. This approach applies, for example, to timber panels or engineered wood, expanding their use in construction, interior systems, and modular building solutions.

 

The following ranges are equally suitable for use in plaster, wood, and unfired materials substrates.
