Temporary binders are ceramic additives designed to increase the mechanical strength of tiles in their unfired state—whether green or dried—while also improving flexibility and impact resistance. Their temporary effect makes the ceramic body easier to handle, helps reduce production waste, and streamlines processing, especially for large-format tiles.
They disperse easily in ceramic slips and can be introduced in different ways: directly into the tank, injected before atomization, or added during milling. This versatility makes them suitable for both traditional production processes and modern large-slab lines.
Available in liquid or powder form, these binders adapt to a wide range of production needs, strengthening the ceramic body without causing significant changes to its rheological properties.
Funzioni e benefici principali:
- Increased mechanical strength:reinforce the ceramic body, making tiles more resistant during handling and transportation before firing.
- Improved flexibility:maintain elasticity, enhancing impact absorption and reducing the risk of breakage.
- Reduced waste: limit the fragility of both green and dried bodies, resulting in lower material losses along the production line.
- Ease of dispersion: integrate quickly into ceramic slips without significantly altering rheological properties.
