Resistance to impact of porcelain stoneware tiles

Ceramics International, 2016
The impact resistance of ceramic tiles is an important technical requirement, especially for large size and/or low thickness slabs. The standard test for ceramic tiles (ISO 10545-5) is non-destructive: it determines the coefficient of restitution of a small sample (75 x 75 mm(2)) assembled on a concrete substrate under a weak impact energy (0.27 J ...

Porcelain stoneware tiles with antimicrobial action

Ceramics International, 2014
Abstract This work reports the development of extruded porcelain stoneware tiles that show antimicrobial (to act as a barrier to the bacteria's growth during a long period of time), and anti-stain (easy to clean) actions, and possess high chemical resistance.

Recycling of polished tile waste as a main raw material in porcelain tiles

Journal of Cleaner Production, 2016
Abstract The manufacture of traditional porcelain tiles is often associated with a large amount of ceramic wastes during the polishing stage. These wastes need to be properly handled due to the corresponding environment problems. This paper aims to evaluate the possibility of reusing the polished tile waste as a main raw material to produce porcelain

Influence of Strengthening Components on Industrial Mixture of Porcelain Stoneware Tiles

Key Engineering Materials, 2004
A typical industrial formulation for porcelain stoneware tiles was modified by adding synthetic mullite, and mullite-precursors, such as kaolin and gibbsite in order to enhance the mechanical properties by increasing the mullite content. The change in the physical properties as well as the technological and mechanical behaviour were evaluated on the ...

PORCELAINIZED STONEWARE TILE

1995
Dense, low-porosity, small-pore-size tile can be manufactured from kaolin clays at maximum firing temperatures. The unglazed porcelainized stoneware tile can be used for exterior applications and as frost-resistant materials.

Delayed curvature and residual stresses in porcelain tiles

Journal of the European Ceramic Society, 2013
Abstract Most industrial porcelain tiles suffer changes in their curvature after firing: such process is known as delayed curvature. One of the hypotheses used to explain this phenomenon is based on the relaxation of residual stresses by creep. In this study two types of industrial glazed porcelain tiles have been studied.

Use of Ornamental Rock Waste in Porcelain Tile

Materials Science Forum, 2008
The ornamental rock industry generates huge amounts of waste in form of fine powder, demanding adequate alternatives for its final disposal. The possibility of using ornamental rock waste as a flux in porcelain tile has been assessed. The porcelain tile formulations are constituted mainly by kaolin, feldspar and quartz. The waste was added to a typical

Elastic properties of porous porcelain stoneware tiles

Ceramics International, 2017
Abstract Porcelain stoneware tiles are industrially processed by using high sintering temperatures and fast firing cycles that result in products characterized by an almost impervious surface layer surrounding a rather porous bulk material. Since mechanical properties are affected by porosity, the knowledge of the material stiffness is an important ...

A study on porcelain anti slip tile design

2011 IEEE Colloquium on Humanities, Science and Engineering, 2011
Literally, the application of corundum as an agent of hardness to glaze surface are determined to the hardness of the glaze properties itself. Corundum reacts as a coating agent that allowing surface roughness rating increase. Alumina is a compound with melting point of about 2,000 °C and sp. gr.
