Decoration of glass using enamel is interesting for hollow glassware as well as for flat glass sheets. Laser radiation can be used advantageously to increase the temperature of the product locally. The reactions which take place during CO2 laser heat treatment of a conventional PbO-containing frit are discussed in this article. Pyrometrical temperature measurements accompany the experiments to investigate the temperature development during CO2 laser irradiation.
