Development of the Alternative Whitening System for Zirconium Silicate Substition in Porcelain Tile Bodies

Article Preview

Abstract:

Zirconium silicate is generally used as a whitening agent in super white and ultra white porcelain tile compositions. Depend on the market speculation, this material's price fluctuated. To reduce this negative effect of the material on the our profitability, an alternative whitening compositions is developed. The aim of the study is prepare the alternative whitening composition with an innovative approach such as controlling the amount of the amorphous and crystalline phases in the porcelain tile body and produce the new composition with the same property compared standard body such as water absorption, size, strength, color. And also ensure the sustainable production with the same quality.
