Bactericidal additive formulated to prevent microbiological proliferation in water-based ceramic glazes, engobes and suspensions.
Microbiological control in aqueous systems
Water-based ceramic systems, such as glazes, engobes, and slips, can be affected by bacterial growth, which alters the product's viscosity, odor, and stability.
Our bactericidal additives are designed to prevent microbiological degradation and maintain system stability during storage and production.

Everything you need to know about ceramic bactericides
Microbiological control for suspension stability.
Ceramic bactericides and preservatives are essential technical additives used to protect water-based suspensions, such as glazes, engobes, and slips, against microbiological degradation. In an industrial environment, the proliferation of bacteria and fungi can drastically alter viscosity, generate unpleasant odors, and decompose organic additives present in the mixture. Their application ensures that the product maintains its properties intact during storage and transport periods.
The use of a suitable preservative agent is critical to ensure repeatability on the glazing line, avoiding defects derived from unstable rheology. At Kerafrit, we formulate broad-spectrum bactericidal solutions compatible with other system components, providing long-lasting protection that optimizes production process hygiene and ensures the highest quality of the final ceramic material.
