Everything you need to know about ceramic rheology modifiers
Viscosity and flow control for ceramic suspensions.
Rheology modifiers for the ceramic industry are water-based technical additives designed to precisely regulate the flow behavior of suspensions. In the large-scale production of glazes, engobes, and inks, controlling viscosity, thixotropy, and resting stability is critical to avoid application defects. These compounds interact with solid particles, stabilizing the mixture and ensuring an optimal response to mechanical agitation and in-line pumping.
By integrating these modifiers into the production process, factories are able to maintain a constant layer thickness and prevent problems such as sedimentation or glaze sagging. At Kerafrit, we develop advanced rheological solutions tailored to each client's technology, ensuring homogeneous application, high repeatability, and maximum technical efficiency in tile manufacturing.
