Abstract

The invention refers to an enamel composition for producing reflecting dielectric layers in plasma display panels, comprising as layer forming constituents 70 to 97% by wt. of a glass frit composition and 3 to 30% by wt. of a particulate whitening material. The whitening material comprises one or more thermally deactivated white pigments, which have been made by a process comprising heating of at least one white pigment in the absence or presence of a glass frit having a softening temperature of less than 600° C. at a temperature of 600 to 1000° C. for 0,1 to 10 hours.The invention further refers to a method for improving the wettability of white pigments by the above said thermal treatment.The enamel is used for producing a reflecting white dielectric layer in plasma display panels.
