In the ceramic industry, the quality of tiles depends on a variety of factors, including the materials used to make the mixture. Minerals play a crucial role in this process, as they determine not only the technical characteristics of the final product, such as strength and durability, but also its aesthetics and environmental sustainability. BAAN Minerals, a leading supplier of raw materials for ceramics, values the importance of selected minerals to ensure ceramic mixtures of excellence.
What are ceramic mixtures?
The mixtures are composed of various ceramic minerals, including clays, feldspars, and silicates. These ingredients are mixed with water and, sometimes, with specific additives to improve the physical and chemical properties of the final product.
Each mineral plays a fundamental role in determining the properties of the mixture, which directly influence the quality of the final tile. The addition of materials with a specific grain size, treated to eliminate impurities, ensures excellent workability, reducing waste during production. The quality of the mineral contributes to the mechanical strength, impermeability, and color stability of the tiles, which are crucial characteristics, especially for applications in high-wear areas or outdoor environments.
BAAN Minerals recognizes that the choice of components and their proportions are fundamental to achieving the desired characteristics, such as plasticity, strength, and stability.
