We develop technical additives designed to control, optimize and stabilize ceramic processes, adapting them to the specific conditions of each factory and application technology.
Ceramic additives
Our additives act directly on the rheological, physical, and chemical properties of ceramic suspensions, allowing precise control of the material's behavior during preparation, application, and firing. We work with powder and water-based additives, formulated to meet different technologies and production needs.
At Kerafrit, we develop deflocculants, binders, rheology modifiers, dispersing agents, antifoams, and other functional additives, always tailored to the system composition, the type of substrate, and the customer's actual production conditions. Each solution is customized to guarantee stability, repeatability, and plant efficiency.
Precise control of viscosity, flowability, and stability in ceramic suspensions.
Formulations tailored to specific raw materials, technology, and factory conditions.

Everything you need to know about ceramic additives
Rheological control and stability for ceramic suspensions.
Industrial ceramic additives are advanced chemical compounds designed to optimize, stabilize, and control the behavior of suspensions throughout the manufacturing process. From the milling stage to final application, these components directly influence the rheological, physical, and chemical properties of slips, engobes, and glazes. Their use is strictly necessary in production plants to ensure that the fluid material maintains the correct viscosity, density, and thixotropy.
In a high-productivity environment, the integration of technical additives drastically reduces waste and manufacturing defects. Solutions such as deflocculants, binders, wetting agents, or defoamers allow plant engineers to adjust fluid behavior in response to environmental variables or changes in raw materials. Kerafrit formulates customized additives for each production line, guaranteeing a continuous, repeatable, and highly efficient glazing process.
