#40 Glaze and grit suspensions: differences & similarities
Grit and glaze suspensions are made up of a liquid phase, usually consisting of water and one or more rheological additives, and a solid phase dispersed within it.
However, upon closer examination of the characteristics of these two types of suspensions, one quickly realizes their significant differences, particularly regarding the solid component. These differences can lead to markedly different production outcomes and, in any case, require distinct management approaches—both during the grinding process and along the glazing line.
From this perspective, the properties of the additives used must also consider their potential dual application and be appropriately tailored to it.
What are the key insights one should be aware of on this topic?
