Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of ceramic tiles, in particular to a phlogopite marble glaze, a marble tile using the phlogopite marble glaze and a preparation method of the marble tile. Background Art

[0002] Marble tiles are popular among consumers due to their decorative effects similar to natural marble and relatively low price. As major companies continue to develop marble tiles, consumers are increasingly demanding on the colors and surface effects of marble tiles.

[0003] However, existing marble glazed tiles can only imitate the color, texture and ordinary polished effect of natural marble, but it is difficult to replicate the stone glitter and granular crystal effect inside. Therefore, there is still a big gap between the visual appearance of existing marble tiles and natural marble. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The main purpose of the present invention is to provide a phlogopite marble glaze, a marble tile using the phlogopite marble glaze and a method for preparing the marble tile, aiming to improve the technical problem that the existing marble tiles have a poor stone glitter effect, resulting in a large visual difference from natural marble.

[0005] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides a phlogopite marble glaze, which is prepared by uniformly mixing and then ball-milling the following raw materials, in parts by weight: 40-45 parts of potassium feldspar, 3-6 parts of phlogopite, 4-8 parts of kaolin, 6-10 parts of zinc oxide, 10-15 parts of quartz, 5-10 parts of dolomite, 12-15 parts of talc, 1-2 parts of sodium borate, 1-5 parts of wollastonite, 1-3 parts of aluminum oxide, 0.1-0.2 parts of cobalt oxide, 1-3 parts of barium sulfate, 50-70 parts of printing paste, 5-10 parts of printing ink, and 1-5 parts of water.

[0006] The phlogopite marble glaze in this solution utilizes a special combination of phlogopite and other raw materials. When applied to ceramic tiles, the phlogopite possesses a superior shimmering effect, making the marble tiles appear more similar to natural marble. Furthermore, through the combined use of these raw materials, the ceramic tiles produced using this phlogopite marble glaze exhibit superior stability, anti-slip properties, anti-static properties, and acid and alkali resistance, resulting in both superior decorative effects and product quality. The phlogopite used in this solution is a member of the muscovite family of minerals, an aluminum silicate containing iron, magnesium, and potassium. Deionized water is used in this solution.

[0007] Preferably, the phlogopite is modified before use, specifically by mixing 1-2 parts alumina, 50-60 parts printing paste, and the phlogopite, bonding them together, calcining them at 1000-1100°C, holding them for 1-3 hours, and then soaking them in salt water for 1-2 hours. To enhance the decorative effect of the phlogopite in marble tiles, this solution modifies the phlogopite by bonding it with alumina and printing paste, then partially coating the surface of the phlogopite. The interdependent interaction of the phlogopite and alumina powder imparts high-temperature and corrosion resistance to the glaze layer, while also preserving the phlogopite's inherent gloss and antistatic properties. The salt water in this solution is a composite of sodium chloride and water, with the weight ratio of sodium chloride to water being 1:4-5.

[0008] In addition, the present invention also provides a method for preparing marble tiles, comprising the following steps: S1. pressing and drying the ceramic green body raw material to obtain a green body;

[0009] S2. Applying a glaze on the surface of the body and inkjet printing a preset marble pattern;

[0010] S3. Continue applying the phlogopite marble glaze as described in any one of the above;

[0011] S4. Continue to apply transparent glaze on the phlogopite marble glaze, and after firing, obtain the marble tile.

[0012] The phlogopite marble glaze in this solution is applied over the inkjet pattern layer, giving the marble pattern an excellent shimmering effect. The above-mentioned marble tile preparation method is simple and amenable to industrial production. The resulting marble tiles offer stable performance and excellent decorative effects, more closely resembling those of natural stone.

[0013] Preferably, the topcoat is made by mixing and ball-milling the following raw materials, in parts by weight: 35-45 parts albite, 5-10 parts lithium porcelain stone, 6-10 parts kaolin, 1-5 parts zinc oxide, 1-3 parts barium carbonate, 10-20 parts quartz, 8-15 parts limestone, 1-2 parts talc, 5-10 parts aluminum oxide, 8-15 parts zirconium silicate, 0.10-0.15 parts methylcellulose, and 0.20-0.45 parts sodium tripolyphosphate. The topcoat can mask the base color of the blank while also serving as a base for the phlogopite marble glaze layer, resulting in a better color finish for the printed marble pattern.

[0014] Preferably, the transparent glaze is made by ball-milling the following raw materials, mixed and then uniformly ground, by weight: 25-35 parts albite, 12-16 parts wollastonite, 6-10 parts barium carbonate, 6-13 parts kaolin, 8-12 parts zinc oxide, 3-6 parts barium sulfate, 15-20 parts quartz, 6-10 parts limestone, 2-3 parts calcite, 1-2 parts talc, 1-6 parts barium carbonate, 1-2 parts corundum, 80-100 parts printing paste, 5-10 parts printing ink, and 1-5 parts water. The transparent glaze protects the inner inkjet pattern layer and phlogopite marble glaze layer, extending the service life of the marble tile. When the transparent glaze uses the above raw materials, it blends better with the phlogopite marble glaze, resulting in a superior surface quality for the marble tile.

[0015] Preferably, in step S4, the firing temperature is 1190-1210°C and the firing time is 60-65 minutes. Since this solution uses specially modified phlogopite, the firing temperature needs to be limited to 1190-1210°C and the firing time is 60-65 minutes. The marble tiles produced by this firing parameter have good quality.

[0016] Preferably, when the phlogopite marble glaze raw materials are mixed, water accounting for 10-15% of the total weight of the phlogopite marble glaze raw materials is added and ball milled for 8-12 minutes, and the obtained mixture is passed through an 80-mesh sieve.

[0017] Preferably, when the glaze raw materials are mixed, 40-45% of the total weight of the glaze raw materials are added to the mixture and ball milled for 10-15 minutes, and the obtained mixture is passed through a 325 mesh screen.

[0018] Preferably, when mixing the clear glaze raw materials, water (5-10% by weight of the total weight of the clear glaze raw materials) is added and ball-milled for 10-15 minutes, and the resulting mixture is passed through a 100-mesh sieve. When the ball-milling parameters for the phlogopite marble glaze, top glaze, and clear glaze are each within the aforementioned ranges, the raw materials for each glaze layer can be better mixed, resulting in a more uniform particle size, further ensuring the quality of the marble tile product during subsequent firing.

[0019] In addition, the present invention also proposes a marble tile, which is prepared by the preparation method of marble tiles described in any of the above items, including a body layer, a surface glaze layer, an inkjet pattern layer, a phlogopite marble glaze layer and a transparent glaze layer arranged in sequence from bottom to top. It has the same beneficial effects as the above preparation process and will not be described one by one here.

[0020] Compared to existing technologies, the marble tiles of this invention offer the following benefits: By adding modified phlogopite to the phlogopite marble glaze, the marble tiles' textures and patterns possess a distinct shimmering effect, more closely resembling the decorative effect of natural marble. Furthermore, the inclusion of the phlogopite marble glaze imparts a superior antistatic effect to the tiles. The combination of raw materials for the various glaze layers results in high-quality ceramic tiles with excellent stain resistance, wear resistance, thermal stability, and slip resistance.

[0075] Comparative Example 1

[0076] The (shiny) marble tiles in this comparative example were purchased on the market and produced by Foshan Oushennuo Tiles.

[0077] Comparative Example 2

[0078] All parameters and preparation steps in this comparative example are the same as those in Example 1, except that no phlogopite is added to the phlogopite marble glaze.

[0079] Comparative Example 3

[0080] The parameters and preparation steps in this comparative example are the same as those in Example 1, except that the glitter effect in the phlogopite marble glaze is replaced by another raw material, quartz powder, with a fineness of 325-400 mesh.

[0081] The marble tiles prepared in Examples 1-4 and Comparative Examples 1-3 were subjected to performance tests, and the specific test results are shown in the following table:

[0082]

[0083]

[0084]

[0085] Note: 1. The static electricity test in the above table is conducted using a ground resistance tester (standard EMI20780).

[0086] 2. The marble shimmer effect in the table above was observed directly with the naked eye, with the degree of shimmer being: very shimmering > shimmering > slightly shimmering > no shimmering.

[0087] 3. The surface effects in the table above were observed directly by the naked eye, and the quality of the surface effects is as follows: excellent > good > medium > poor.

[0088] From the test results in the above table, it can be seen that Examples 1-4 are marble tiles prepared according to this scheme, the tile strength is above 49 MPa, the water absorption rate is 0.02-0.04%, the wear resistance level is 1800-6000 revolutions, the hardness can reach above level 5, the acid and alkali resistance is level A, and the anti-slip level can reach above R10.

[0089] The test results of Comparative Example 1 show that the marble tiles made with phlogopite marble glaze in this solution have a significantly better shimmer effect than existing marble tiles, and some properties, such as anti-slip resistance and hardness, are also relatively better. The test results of Comparative Example 2 show that when the phlogopite shimmer factor is not added, the shimmer decorative effect and antistatic effect of the marble tiles are reduced. The test results of Comparative Example 3 show that when the phlogopite is replaced with quartz, the texture shimmer effect of the marble tiles is not as good as that of Example 1, and the corresponding antistatic effect is also not as good as that of Example 1.

[0090] Example 5

[0091] All parameters and preparation steps in this example were identical to those in Example 2, except that the phlogopite in the phlogopite marble glaze was first modified. Specifically, 1.6 parts of aluminum oxide, 55 parts of printing paste, and the phlogopite were mixed and bonded together. The mixture was then calcined at 1075°C, held at that temperature for 1 hour, and then soaked in salt water for 1 hour.

[0092] The marble tiles prepared in Example 5 were subjected to performance testing, and the specific test results are shown in the following table:

[0093]

[0094] Note: The above friction coefficient and anti-slip grade represent the anti-slip performance of tiles.

[0095] From the above test results, it can be seen that after the modification of phlogopite, the surface of the phlogopite is partially wrapped after the aluminum oxide and printing paste are bonded to the phlogopite, and its gloss and anti-static effect inside the ceramic tile are not weakened after long-term use. After 12 months of use, the phlogopite still has a good sparkle effect. At the same time, it also has good wear resistance, and the anti-static effect is not greatly affected.

[0096] Example 6

[0097] All parameters and preparation steps in this example are identical to those in Example 4, except that the top glaze components of this embodiment have been adjusted. The top glaze, in parts by weight, comprises the following raw materials, mixed and then ball-milled: 38 parts albite, 5 parts lithium porcelain stoneware, 6 parts kaolin, 4 parts zinc oxide, 3 parts barium carbonate, 14 parts quartz, 10 parts limestone, 1 part talc, 5 parts aluminum oxide, 8 parts zirconium silicate, 0.14 parts methylcellulose, and 0.4 parts sodium tripolyphosphate.

[0098] Example 7

[0099] All parameters and preparation steps in this example are the same as those in Example 4, except that the transparent glaze components of this solution have been adjusted. The transparent glaze comprises, by weight, 30 parts albite, 14 parts wollastonite, 9 parts barium carbonate, 9 parts kaolin, 9 parts zinc oxide, 3.5 parts barium sulfate, 16 parts quartz, 6.5 parts limestone, 2.3 parts calcite, 1.5 parts talc, 1.5 parts barium carbonate, 1 part corundum, 95 parts printing paste, 8 parts printing ink, and 1 part water.

[0100] Example 8

[0101] The parameters and preparation steps in this embodiment are the same as those in embodiment 4, except that the firing parameters are adjusted to 1198° C. and the firing time is 63 min.

[0102] The marble tiles prepared in Examples 6-8 were subjected to performance testing, and the specific test results are shown in the following table:

[0104]

[0105] The test results in the table above demonstrate that further optimization of the top glaze, transparency, and firing parameters can further enhance the performance of marble tiles. Specifically, compared to Example 4, the improved top glaze formulation in Example 6 resulted in improved shimmer, strength, and anti-slip properties of the corresponding marble tiles. The improved transparent glaze formulation in Example 7 also resulted in improved strength and wear resistance. Furthermore, the improved firing parameters in Example 8 resulted in varying degrees of improvement in multiple properties of the marble tiles.

[0106] It should be noted that the performance of this solution can be further improved after further limiting the raw material dosage and some parameters of the phlogopite marble glaze.
