Everything you need to know about ceramic silicates
Inorganic dispersants for ceramic mass stability.
Ceramic silicates act as fundamental inorganic dispersants in the preparation of the ceramic mass, optimizing the grinding process and significantly improving the rheology of the slip. Their integration into high-production lines allows for efficient particle separation, facilitating a more homogeneous and stable mixture before the critical atomization phase, which translates into smoother pumping and lower energy costs.
In addition to their function as primary deflocculants, these technical additives reinforce the structural cohesion of the green pieces, being especially valuable in the formulation of high-density bodies for porcelain tiles. At Kerafrit, we adjust the type of silicate to the specific mineralogy of each factory, ensuring optimal behavior during pressing and drastically reducing breakages prior to firing.
