Process of pyroplastic shaping for special-purpose porcelain stoneware tiles [PDF]
A novel technique to manufacture special-purpose tiles (i.e. trim pieces, steps, skirting boards, etc.) has been recently developed on the basis of a pyroplastic shaping of porcelain stoneware tiles. This innovative process involves a second firing, peaking at temperatures close to those of sintering, whose effect was investigated by comparing ...

Influence of zeolites on the sintering and technological properties of porcelain stoneware tiles [PDF]
Low-cost zeolitic rocks are promising substitutes for feldspathic .uxes in ceramic bodies, since their fusibility, modest hardness and high cation exchange capacity (CEC) should improve grinding and sintering. Five large-scale Italian deposits of natural zeolites with di.erent mineralogy were characterised and tested in porcelain stoneware bodies ...
