Liquid and paste precious metals are metallic resinates that are dissolved in thinners or organic pastes. When they are vitrified, there appears a thin metallic coat that can be gloss, matte or silky matte.
Precious metals used for decoration are: gold (Au), platinum/palladium (Pt/Pd) and silver (Ag). They can be in concentration from 6 to 16% in the case of the gold and the platinum/palladium, and from 60 to 80% in the case of silver.
