Abstract

A lead- and cadmium-free glass-frit composition based on a borate glass and containing 4 to 22 mole % La.sub.2 O.sub.3 and 0 to 10 mole % SiO.sub.2 as network-forming oxides and B.sub.2 O.sub.3, wherein the molar ratio of B.sub.2 O.sub.3 to La.sub.2 O.sub.3 is at least 3 to 1. The compositions have an alpha in a range between approximately 50.cndot.10.sup.-7 K.sup.-1 and approximately 100.cndot.10.sup.-7 K.sup.-1 and the start of melting Td in a range between 470.degree. and 670.degree. C.
