In Ceramics, the water-based digital system is a very important topic of interest. The R&D departments of all 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 the industrial production.

Technical problems of both application machines and products (such as inks and glues) seem to be over, and the time is ripe for a final spread of this technology that surely offers several benefits on a technical, aesthetical, and environmental level.

After a short introduction about the chemical nature and the main features of water-based glues, the episode focuses on the most significant advantages promoted by this important kind of products, also pointing out the mechanisms behind them.
