Products designed to prevent or neutralize the degradation of semi-finished materials caused by bacteria, molds, or fungi. When contamination occurs, ceramic suspensions (such as slurries, glazes, etc.) or process water often undergo changes in their rheological properties. This can disrupt production processes and compromise the quality of the final product, both technically and aesthetically.
The action of these products depends on their formulation and can target different stages:
- Sanitizing action: Quickly eliminates microorganisms
- Preserving action: Provides long-lasting protection through gradual release, preventing new contamination and keeping the suspension properties stable over time.
Using this type of product is essential to maintain the stability of ceramic suspensions, minimize the risk of deterioration of both finished and semi-finished products, ensure optimal hygiene within production facilities, and extend the lifespan of materials — delivering benefits in terms of both quality and cost-efficiency.
