Abstract: The colorless and transparent organic coating used in the restoration of porcelain relics is called glazed coating. Currently, the traditional glazed coating products have two common shortcomings: the lack of hardness and poor ageing resistant performance.In order to make the glaze coatings better meet the needs of restoration, three kinds of imitated glaze coatings (nitrocellulose lacquer, acrylic gloss and waterborne polyurethane lacquer), which are commonly used in ceramic restoration, were modified by using fumed silica powder. And conducted a series of performance tests on the hardness, gloss, contact angle, adhesion and aging resistance of the coating before and after modification. The results of performance test show that when the volume proportion of fumed silica powder is 5%, the pencil hardness of the nitrocellulose lacquer film is increased to 3H, the pencil hardness of the acrylic gloss and polyurethane lacquer is increased to H. The performance in adhesion, light aging resistance, environmental weather resistance and pollution resistance of these three coatings have also be improved while the glossiness is reduced.

Key words: porcelain restoration, glazed coating, modification, fumed silica
