Antifouling Technology of Polished Porcelain Floor Tile

Antifouling Technology

The antifouling principle of polished porcelain floor tiles is to use the solid surface modified principle. That is to change the structure and properties of the solid surface by the use of solid surface adsorption characteristics and various surface treatments. The antifouling substance is surface active material. After the surface modification, there will be an adsorbed film formed in the surface layer of the tile. That film has a hydrophobic nature so that the glazed porcelain tile shows antifouling effect. Currently, due to their low surface tension, excellent weather resistance, durability and chemical reactivity, organosilicone and fluorine-containing polymer have a wide range of applications in the polished tiles antifouling field.

Antifouling Technology of Waxes, Organic Coating, and Hydrophobic Surface Active Agent

Waxes and organic coating are more commonly used polished porcelain tile surface antifouling treatment agent, but the results have been unsatisfactory. Waxing is antifouling, but the wax surface tension is large, which is maintained only for a short time on the tile surface, and the wax is a coating material, a gas-impermeable sealant. Finish a wax, the outside water and moisture cannot enter the tile interior, which isolates the water vapor, offering excellent antifouling effect. However the wax is exposed in the air and sun for a long time, prone to turning yellow, and the wax film is easy to wear, suffering from short-lived antifouling effect. Also the wax itself is vulnerable to pollution. Because dust and other small particles will embed in the wax forming wax dirt, cleaning of the porcelain tile is inconvenient. Thus, waxing is not a good anti-pollution measure. In addition, the organic coating affects the gloss of the polished porcelain surface. Hydrophobic surface active agent enjoys low surface tension. Micromolecule hydrophobic surface active agent contains stearic acid, palmitic acid, oleic acid, naphthenate, water-soluble salts of the mixtures, rosin acids, and their alkali water soluble salt. Its surface tension is large, in between 30 to 40mN/M. Porcelain tiles with this type of surface treatment will adsorb the angent and form a thin hydrophobic layer, with a certain degree of antifouling effect, but since that layer only adsorbs on the surface unstably, it easy to fall off and lose antifouling efficacy impacted by external force or the flow. So its durability and antifouling efficiency is not good enough.



Antifouling Technology of Organosilicone

The ability of the surface energy of polished ceramic tiles surface treatment agent is a very important factor in the tile surface antifouling properties. A low surface energy can prevent the adsorption of dust, micro-organisms, the aqueous material, and particles, etc. Under external force they are easy to desorb. Organosilicone enjoys low surface tension, which can be as low as 21 ~ 22mN/M and is more desirable and widely applied polished tile surface waterproof antifouling treatment agent. Organosilicone antifouling treatment principle is different from the commonly used surface treating agent. Organosilicone surface antifouling treating agent generates a layer of a few molecules thick insoluble hydrophobic resin film on the surface of the tiles from a chemical reaction with the structural material. It not only has hydrophobic anti-stick properties, but also keeps the tiles normal breathable effect. Tiles treated by organosilicone surface are keeping clean, non-stick dust, easy to clean, durable for scrubbing, and more and more welcomed by ceramic tile manufacturer and customer.

Benefits of Ceramic Tiles in Bathrooms & on Floors

It is said that installing or replacing ceramic bathroom tiles or ceramic floor tile isn’t nearly as stressful as you might think. Okay, it takes longer than lifting a carpet or painting four walls, but in terms of finding the best possible décor for your kitchen or bathroom, there really is no better option. Just take a look at the following list we’ve compiled outlining the numerous benefits of laying ceramic tiling in your home:



Brief Introduction of Ceramic Tiles

To begin with, glazed porcelain tile is easy to install, either by yourself or a professional contractor; in fact it’s so easy that you could find all the tiling complete in a single room in less than a week! Just make sure you use a spirit level if you fancy giving the DIY option a go, and if ever you’re unsure of what you’re doing ring an expert for an (often free) manual on just how to lay ceramic floor tiles. It is also extremely adaptable and versatile; it can be used in a range of different rooms, from kitchens to bathrooms and even conservatories. Plus it can be laid onto almost any surface, whether it be linoleum, wood or flat cement. Ceramic tiling comes in a range of colours, shades and patterns to suit your tastes. Whether you are looking for a bold and bright new look for a room, a smooth and sleek finish or if simply fancy toning things down with a softer, more neutral colour palette, there will always be the ceramic floor tile for you. The tiles are also neat and tidy, and relatively unobtrusive – keeping your room looking cool and uncluttered all year round.

Plus they are very easy to clean and maintain too; just a small, damp cloth and some non-corrosive chemical cleaning agent usually does the trick on most spills or stains. Ceramic tiles are also extremely durable and long-lasting and don’t wear down easily, so you won’t have to worry about re-fitting or redecorating the room again anytime soon – giving you a chance to get on with more day-to-day tasks and activities that you’ve been missing out on. If a ceramic tile does suffer from a crack or hairline fracture, however, then it is at least just as good to know that the tile is very easy to repair and replace. When you make your original purchase always throw in a few extra tiles (of all the different shades and/or patterns you’ve opted for), just to make certain a repair can be undertaken as quickly as possible. Although they aren’t the cheapest flooring option or room redecoration design on the market, ceramic tiles are ultimately a surprisingly good investment; they add value to the property and, once you take into account the lack of repair and/or maintenance work involved in their long lifespan, they prove to be pretty cost-effective too. Plus as long as you shop around, you’ll find that glazed porcelain tile are out there for those on a more restrictive budget!

Introductions for Different Ceramic Tiles

Classification of ceramic tiles

The ceramic tiles used for decoration on the market can be divided into floor tiles, wall tiles, waist tiles in accordance with the use of function. There are many varieties of ceramic floor tile, available for great choices, Divided by the material, there are glazed tiles, Quintana tiles (anti-skid tiles), polished tiles, porcelain tiles, etc.

1. Glazed tiles

Glazed tile is the most common tile kind in decoration; it is widely used in wall and floor decoration due to rich color patterns, and antifouling ability. Glazed tile is the tile surface is treated by burning glaze, which is available for gloss and matte glazed tiles according to the different sub-glaze. Divided by raw materials, there are ceramic glazed tiles, made by clay fire, high water absorption, generally relatively low intensity, the main feature is the back is red; glazed porcelain tile, fired by porcelain clay, lower water rate, generally relatively high intensity and the main feature is the back is off-white.

2. Quintana tiles

The Quintana tile surface is not glazed, and the texture and color of the positive and negative are unanimous. Quintana tile is a wear-resistant tile, although there are still bleed Quintana tiles and other varieties, but relatively speaking, the suit cannot compare with glazed tiles. Currently the interior design is more and more inclined to plain design, so Quintana tile has increasingly become a fashion, which is widely used in the renovation project of the hall, hallway and outdoor walkways ground; generally is less used to the wall. The majority of non-slip tiles are Quintana tiles.



3. Polished tiles

Polished tile is a bright tile by polishing the Quintana adobe body surface, which is a type of Quintana tile. Relative to the Quintana tiles, polished tiles surface is smoother. Polished tiles are hard and wear resistant, suitable for use in the most interior space in addition to the outside toilet, kitchen. On the basis of the use of bleed technology, the tiles can make of various imitate stone, imitation wood effect.

Polished tiles leave bump stomata when being polished, these pores will store filth, and even some tea pour down on the tiles is conceding. Perhaps the industry is aware of this point, some good quality polished tiles add a layer of antifouling layer before shipment, but this layer of antifouling layer make polished tiles lose Quintana tile effect. If you want to continue the Quintana, you have to continue to brush antifouling layer.

How to Choose Glazed Tiles?

1. Observe the surface of the glazed tiles, the glaze should be smooth, delicate, touch no particles; glazed tiles are crystal glossy, matt tiles should be soft. Color pattern should be delicate, realistic, and there is no obvious lack of color, disconnection, dislocation and other defects. Join a few pieces of glazed tiles together, look carefully in the light, good product color difference is very small, the tone between glazed porcelain tile is consistent; poor product is bad in color, tone shades between products are different.

2. Casually select two from the same type of glazed tiles, face together to see if joint colse, the flatness of the glazed tiles is good if joint colse. You must take the glazed tiles rotate; face the various edges of the glazed tiles. It is best to find a flat countertop, lean against entirely on with the two edges of glazed tiles, and then touch angle close to two glazed tiles together by the finger, the angle of two glazed tiles side should be in the same horizontal line if tiles flatness is good.



3. Weigh the glazed tiles to feel its density, it is good if you feel heavy (density).

4. To pour some water behind glazed tiles to see the water absorption speed of the tiles. The slower the speed, the better the quality the tile, too much water absorption tiles cannot be used. For some tiles, if you pour water from the back, in turn, you will be able to see water stains from the front, this glazed ceramic tiles is not needed. Pay attention that test the water must pour the water into the back of glazed tiles, a lot of businesses put water down to positive of the ceramic tile flooring when see you test the water, and say is good tiles since it is non-absorbent. If the front of glazed tiles is absorbent, it will be multi-inferior.

Method to prevent issues in the process of use

Some glazed tiles strength is very good, which will not be bad even if you fall it to the ground, this tile, of course, is also very good. The tiles often appear loosening, shedding, and other issues in the process of use, because the cement mortar used by tile adhesives is not enough in adhesive fastness, so it will be loose and fall off in a humid environment for a long time. The method is to use a resin-type adhesive to paste tiles, whose intensity can not only reach or exceed the tile body strength, and does not cause a drop in a humid environment for a long time.

Development Prospects of Ceramic Tile Industry in 2013

Ceramic Tile products Must be Green

With the 2013 building ceramic new products launch event come to an end, and the pace of the New Year of 2013 is drawing near. Throughout the extraordinary 2012, take reference to new products launch event, as for the development of the ceramic tile industry in 2013, we made some outlook. From the new ceramic production launched in the last month of 2013 building and sanitary ceramics new innovation conference, we can easily find imitate, no matter the imitated wood, or unglazed porcelain tiles are closely around the theme of environmental protection and energy saving. This is revealed to us the direction of product innovation next year with the premise: the future ceramic tile product innovation must be on the condition of green.

2013 Porcelain Tile Market Outlook

On the one hand, with fuel prices rising and the relative shortage of ceramic raw materials, glazed porcelain tile industry is still facing enterprises blindly yield and difficult income situation, only to speed up the production and R & D capabilities, the source of the production of environmental protection and energy saving to be able stand competitive ceramic industry. On the other hand, many environmental issues facing the EU as an excuse for imposing anti-dumping on Chinese products, ceramic tile product innovation does not focus on the improvement of the environmental indicators, and then there are the products of creativity. I am afraid to cross the threshold of the green, and more not to mention consumer favorite. Even in the country, due to the improvement of living standards of our people, the green consumer products more and more attention. We can determine that the next year will be the year of comprehensive awakening and focus on the construction of the ceramic tile industry brand awareness.



Setting off a tile marketing innovation climax

Industrial marketing practices are always constantly refurbished to improve. Ceramic tile industry marketing practices, compared this year with previous years, has changed a lot, from sports marketing, charity marketing to Internet marketing, micro film marketing, all of which show the tile industry marketing innovation capability is further strengthened. These practices not only have a lot of affirmation from marketing experts and have certainly also become a classic case of peer learning, a lot of ceramic tile enterprises are responsible person expressed their will to do more in marketing innovation, and strive to boost product sales through marketing innovation, and increase brand visibility. So, we can clearly foresee that the tile industry next year will set off a new wave of innovative marketing.

Status Analysis of China Ceramic Tile Industry

Companies Compete on Porcelain Tile Price

With the rising of fuel prices and the relative shortage of ceramic raw materials, ceramic porcelain tiles production costs have been rising all the time. Rising costs make many companies have to face selling at a loss, and build a brand, developed a high degree of difficulty of the new product, targeting the high-end market with high profit margins become the inevitable choice for some enterprises. Ceramic industry increasingly fierce competition, high raw material prices, which also makes some companies using inferior raw materials, price cuts degraded the quality of their products simply cannot be guaranteed. The price war is not as intense as before, but still more domestic or foreign enterprise pricing strategy to squeeze the same market, undoubtedly fancies, is round loser. Especially that the glazed porcelain tile market, the cost rising is more and more intense.

Overcapacity of Ceramic Porcelain Tile Industry

At present, the tile industry is still facing the situation that enterprises blindly increase production capacity, and the new enterprises are emerging, the war in full swing, and innovative production and many other issues. Since now the unglazed porcelain tiles industry has not yet matured and normative, and the market demand is great, which provides living space for many small businesses. Currently, the powerful porcelain tile companies in China such as Dongpeng, Wrigley, Anwar and Xindong source all are regarded as a business development strategy aimed at the high-end markets, strengthen the production of corporate self-regulation of their own behavior, from raw materials to the production process, strict control to ensure product quality and stability and it depends on whether the product is environmentally friendly or not. Enterprises have to improve the technological content of products to increase innovation in order to achieve sustainable development through every effort.

Law of the Jungle Phenomenon in Tile Industry

After the unannounced visits to the ceramic porcelain tile market the reporter found that technical threshold of the new GB elevation is mainly facing to the small businesses, and as for the large enterprises with well-known brands, the implementation of the corporate internal standard is much higher than the national standard. Such as the 600mm × 600mm polished porcelain tiles side straightness error value, according to national standards conversion, it is ± 1.2mm, and the general internal control of enterprises are about 0.5mm, and some even up to 0.2 to 0.3 mm. It is reported that when the well-known brands do product comparison, they often use the corporate standards, Euro II standards and national standards for comparison, usually the corporate standards are higher than the other two standards. With the continuous development of the market, the well-known enterprises will be more and more powerful, market share will be increasing, and the small businesses would have to withdraw from the market.
