[0002] In the building ceramic industry, the glazes used in the traditional bell-shaped glaze spraying and spray gun glazing processes are pure water glazes, which can seriously affect the body strength of large-size super-thin marble ceramic tile products after glazing, leading to easy cracking during the firing process or easy breaking during the later processing.

[0003] As a solid-liquid mixture, the digital glaze replaces pigments, printing oil, printing glaze and other additives, and has the advantages of increasing the richness of patterns and improving the clarity, and can be adjusted according to different kiln temperatures, different hand feelings, gloss, and transparency. The processing process, solvent material, and application performance are very close to ink, and the digital glaze can be printed on the surface of the ceramic tile through the inkjet head, which not only saves the amount of glaze, but also makes the glaze thickness uniform. In addition, the digital glaze is an oily or low-oily substance with low water content, which reduces the impact on the strength of the tile body, and does not produce defects such as glaze marks during sintering.

[0004] However, the current ceramic digital glaze still has defects such as color difference, not enough fine matte, pinhole and acne on the glaze surface, and poor wear resistance.

[0005] Therefore, the present application provides a digital glaze and a preparation method thereof, and a fine matte super wear-resistant marble ceramic tile and a preparation method thereof. SUMMARY

[0044] Terminology:

[0045] Ball milling is a material processing technology that uses grinding media (such as steel balls, ceramic balls, etc.) to crush and mix materials in a rotating or vibrating cylinder. In the preparation of ceramic glazes, ball milling is commonly used to refine raw materials to the desired particle size range, increasing the uniformity and activity of the raw materials, and promoting subsequent chemical reactions and physical mixing. In the preparation process of digital glaze in this application, each single raw material of the digital powder needs to be wet ball milled to ensure that its fineness reaches D99 < 5 μm, thereby improving the performance and stability of the glaze.

[0046] Body refers to the semi-finished product obtained after the pressing forming process in the production process of ceramic products. The body is usually made of ceramic raw materials (such as clay, quartz, feldspar, etc.) through mixing, forming (such as pressing, slip casting, etc.) and other processes. In the production of ceramic tiles, the body is the basis of the final product, various glazes will be applied on it and sintered to obtain finished ceramic tiles with decorative and functional properties.

[0047] Face glaze is a layer of glaze applied on the surface of ceramic body, mainly for decoration and protection. Face glaze can give ceramic products rich color, luster and texture, while resisting wear, corrosion and other external factors, prolonging the service life of ceramic products. In this application, the preparation method of fine matte super wear-resistant marble ceramic tile first applies face glaze on the body, then prints patterns and digital glaze by inkjet printing to form the final decorative effect.

[0048] Inkjet printing pattern is a technology that uses inkjet printers to directly print patterns on ceramic body or glaze surface. In the production of ceramic tiles, inkjet printing technology can achieve highly personalized pattern design and color expression, improving the added value of products. The process of inkjet printing pattern usually involves accurately spraying ink containing pigments through the nozzle onto the body or glaze surface to form fine patterns and color levels. In this application, the preparation method of fine matte super wear-resistant marble ceramic tile, inkjet printing pattern is the next process after applying face glaze, which is used to further beautify the appearance of ceramic tile.

[0049] In view of the problems of existing commercial digital glaze, such as color difference, rough and not delicate glaze surface, pinhole and acne defects, and poor wear resistance, the application provides a digital glaze, which comprises the following raw materials by weight:

[0050] Digital powder 35-45 parts, solvent 35-55 parts, dispersant 5-12 parts, additive 5-12 parts;

[0051] The digital powder comprises the following raw materials by weight per 100 parts:

[0052] Potassium feldspar 35 parts, modified quartz 17 parts, dolomite 18 parts, corundum 7 parts, calcined alumina 3 parts, kaolin 7 parts, zinc oxide 3 parts, wear-resistant clinker 10 parts;

[0053] The modified quartz comprises the following raw materials by weight per 100 parts of modified quartz:

[0054] Titanium dioxide 7 parts, quartz sand 78 parts, color-developing clinker 15 parts;

[0055] The preparation process of the modified quartz is as follows: raw materials are prepared according to the weight parts of 100 parts of modified quartz; titanium dioxide and color-developing clinker are added to the quartz sand, and after being fully mixed, ball milling and sintering are performed, the sintering temperature is 1300-1320℃, and the modified quartz is obtained after the sintering is completed.

[0056] It can be understood that the digital powder is the main material of the digital glaze, which contains potassium feldspar, modified quartz, dolomite, corundum and other minerals and compounds. These raw materials are processed through specific proportioning to form a powder with specific chemical composition and physical properties, which provides the digital glaze with the required basic properties such as color, gloss, wear resistance, etc.; specifically, potassium feldspar and dolomite can be used as fluxing agents to reduce the melting temperature of the glaze; corundum and calcined alumina can improve the hardness and wear resistance of the glaze layer; and the modified quartz can improve the color-developing ability and gloss of the glaze through its special chemical composition and physical properties.

[0057] In the present application, the weight parts of the digital powder are 35-45 parts (including the end point value), for example, it can be 35 parts, 37 parts, 40 parts, 41 parts, and the appropriate weight parts of the digital powder can ensure the fluidity, stability and sintering performance of the glaze, so as to obtain a uniform, dense and wear-resistant glaze layer; if the digital powder is too much, the glaze will be too thick and have poor fluidity, making it difficult to apply evenly; at the same time, too much powder will also increase the thickness of the glaze layer and the sintering difficulty, which is easy to cause the glaze to crack or blister. On the contrary, if the digital powder is too little, the glaze layer will be too thin, it is difficult to form a stable glaze surface, and the color, gloss and wear resistance will be affected.

[0058] Specifically, the titanium dioxide and color-developing agent in the modified quartz undergo a chemical reaction with the quartz sand at high temperature to form stable compounds, which form a dense structure in the glaze layer, improving the hardness and wear resistance of the glaze surface. At the same time, the color-developing clinker in the modified quartz can also promote the uniform distribution and brightness of the glaze color, making the ceramic tile have better decorative effect. The prepared modified quartz can improve the wear resistance, chemical corrosion resistance and color-developing effect of the glaze.

[0059] Specifically, the preparation process of the modified quartz is as follows: according to the weight parts of 100 parts of the modified quartz, the corresponding weight parts of quartz sand, titanium white and colorant ingot are weighed; the titanium white and colorant ingot are added to the quartz sand, and then the mixture is fully mixed and ball milled for 2-3 hours; the ball milled mixture is sintered at a temperature of 1300-1320 DEG C for 0.8-1.2 hours to obtain the modified quartz.

[0060] In some embodiments, the solvent is diisooctyl adipate. The solvent mainly serves to improve the stability of the ink, so that the viscosity, surface tension and the like of the ink are not easily changed with temperature. The selection of the solvent has an important influence on the flowability, drying speed, sintering performance and the like of the glaze. Diisooctyl adipate has good dissolving capacity and volatility, and can effectively disperse the digital powder uniformly in the preparation process to form a stable suspension. At the same time, the volatility of the solvent also affects the drying speed and sintering performance of the glaze, and further affects the final quality of the ceramic tile.

[0061] In the present application, the weight parts of the solvent are 35-55 (including the end point value), for example, can be 35 parts, 37 parts, 40 parts, 45 parts, 48 parts, 55 parts, and an appropriate solvent content can ensure the uniformity and stability of the glaze, while controlling the thickness and sintering performance of the glaze layer. Too much solvent will make the glaze too thin, resulting in insufficient glaze layer thickness, affecting the color, gloss and wear resistance of the ceramic tile; at the same time, too much solvent will also increase the drying time and energy consumption in the sintering process. If the solvent is too little, the glaze is too thick, it is difficult to apply the glaze uniformly, and defects such as pinholes and bubbles are easily generated.

[0062] In some embodiments, the dispersant includes polyethylene wax and polyvinylpyrrolidone. The dispersant mainly serves to prevent the digital powder from agglomerating and precipitating in the solvent, and to maintain the uniformity and stability of the glaze. The dispersant such as polyethylene wax and polyvinylpyrrolidone adsorbs on the surface of the digital powder particles through its unique molecular structure and surface properties, forming a protective film to prevent direct contact and agglomeration between the particles. In the present application, the weight parts of the dispersant are 5-12 (including the end point value), for example, can be 5 parts, 6 parts, 7 parts, 8 parts, 9 parts, 10 parts, 12 parts, and an appropriate amount of dispersant can maintain the uniformity and stability of the glaze, while preventing agglomeration and precipitation between the particles. Too much dispersant may cause the glaze to be too viscous, affecting the flowability; at the same time, too much dispersant may also affect the sintering performance and final quality of the glaze. If the dispersant is too little, it cannot effectively prevent the agglomeration and precipitation of the digital powder, resulting in uneven and unstable glaze.

[0063] Specifically, the weight ratio of polyethylene wax to polyvinylpyrrolidone in the dispersant is 2:(1-3). The appropriate ratio of polyethylene wax to polyvinylpyrrolidone helps to improve the dispersing effect.

[0064] In some embodiments, the auxiliary agent is polyoxyethylene stearate. The auxiliary agent has good emulsifying and thickening properties, and can increase the interaction between the powder particles and the solvent, making the glaze system more stable.

[0065] In the present application, the amount of auxiliary agent is 5-12 parts (including end values), for example, it can be 5 parts, 6 parts, 7 parts, 8 parts, 9 parts, 10 parts, 12 parts. An appropriate amount of auxiliary agent can increase the interaction between the powder particles and the solvent, making the glaze system more stable. Too much auxiliary agent can make the glaze too thick, affecting the flowability; if the auxiliary agent is too little, it cannot effectively prevent the agglomeration and precipitation of the digital powder, resulting in uneven and unstable glaze.

[0066] In some embodiments, the chemical composition of the wear-resistant frit is:

[0067] CaO: 10.28%, SiO2: 50.06%, Fe2O3: 0.11%, MgO: 3.87%, TiO2: 0.06%, Al2O3: 20.92%, K2O: 0.23%, Na2O: 2.55%, ZnO: 1%, BaO: 6.71%, SrO: 4.08%, ZrO2: 0.01%, B2O3: 0.03%, Loss: 0.09%. The wear-resistant frit contains high-hardness oxides such as aluminum oxide (Al2O3) and various wear-resistant components, which can form a high-hardness glaze layer during sintering, thereby significantly improving the wear resistance of the ceramic tile surface; through the specific chemical composition of the wear-resistant frit, it has good thermal stability, chemical corrosion resistance, high wear resistance and high hardness, and can also improve the color development effect of the inkjet pattern.

[0068] In some embodiments, the chemical composition of the color-developing frit is:

[0069] CaO: 12.7%, SiO2: 63.47%, Fe2O3: 0.35%, MgO: 1.78%, TiO2: 0.11%, Al2O3: 8.3%, K2O: 4.44%, Na2O: 1.29%, ZnO: 3.4%, BaO: 2.28%, ZrO2: 0.31%, B2O3: 0.97%, PbO: 0.08%, P2O3: 0.29%, Li2O: 0.02%, Loss: 0.21%.

[0070] The color-developing frit has strong gloss, high transparency, and strong fluxing effect, and can form a glass phase during sintering, thereby improving the transparency and gloss of the glaze surface, and promoting the uniform distribution and brightness of the glaze color.

[0071] The preparation method of the digital glaze described above comprises the following steps:

[0072] Each raw material of the digital powder is wet ball milled to process each raw material to D99 < 5 μm, and then sieved (sieved through a 325 mesh screen) and dried (each of the powders has a water content of less than 0.1%)

[0073] The corresponding digital powder is prepared by mixing according to weight parts;

[0074] The dispersant, the auxiliary agent and part of the solvent are mixed and stirred uniformly, and the digital powder is added for ball milling, and the ball milling is performed until D90 reaches 1.0-1.2 μm, and then the remaining solvent is added;

[0075] Filtration is performed to obtain the digital glaze.

[0076] The specific process is as follows: S1, each single raw material in the digital powder is wet ball milled to process each raw material to D99 < 5 μm, and then sieved;

[0079] S4, the dispersant, the auxiliary agent and part of the solvent are mixed and stirred uniformly, and then added into a sand mill for continuous stirring;

[0080] S5, the digital powder treated in the step S3 is slowly added into the sand mill, and repeatedly ground until the digital glaze powder is processed to D90 reaching 1.0-1.2 μm, and then the remaining solvent is added (the mass ratio of the part of the solvent to the remaining solvent is 7-8:(2-3) to adjust the viscosity and density of the system;

[0081] S6, the mixture obtained in the step S5 is filtered through a filter hole, and the digital glaze is obtained after filtration.

[0082] In the step S1, the ball milling treatment time is 2-3 h, and each of the powders after the ball milling treatment is sieved through a 325 mesh screen;

[0083] In the step S2, the drying temperature is 120-140 °C, and the water content of each of the powders after drying is less than 0.1%;

[0084] In the step S3, the mixing time of each of the powders in the high mixer is 20-30 min, and the rotation speed is 100-150 revolutions per minute;

[0085] In the step S5, the sand milling time of each of the powders in the sand mill is 2-10 h, and after sand milling, D90 of each of the powders reaches 1.0-1.2 um.

[0086] In step S5, the digital glaze ink is filtered through filter membranes with filter hole diameters of 10 μm, 5 μm, 3 μm and 1 μm in sequence, and the final filtrate is the digital glaze ink for full-digital glaze spraying.

[0089] Spraying of top glaze on the body, inkjet printing of patterns, and inkjet printing of digital glaze;

[0092] More specifically, the conventional top glaze is sprayed on the body, and a suitable top glaze formula (a common top glaze) is selected, and the viscosity, fluidity and drying speed of the top glaze need to be matched with the characteristics of the body; the top glaze is uniformly sprayed on the surface of the body using an automatic glaze spraying device to ensure that the entire surface is covered with the top glaze and has a uniform thickness. After glazing, the body needs to be pre-dried to remove the water in the top glaze and form a uniform glaze surface;
