Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of polishing tile preparation, and in particular to a method for preparing a polishing tile having a partially mosaic pattern effect. Background Art

[0002] Polished tiles are widely used in the construction industry, for example, as wall and floor materials. With people's pursuit of beauty, polished tiles with mosaic patterns are popular among consumers.

[0003] Traditional polished tiles with mosaic effect have the following preparation processes:

[0004] (1) Laying process: Laying the polishing tile powder in a grid and pressing it into shape; firing it to form a polishing tile embryo; and polishing it to obtain a polished tile. However, since the pattern powder and the main body powder of the polishing tile are mixed during the pressing and firing process, the boundary between the mosaic pattern on the polishing tile and the main body of the polishing tile is not clear, so the pattern effect is not good.

[0005] (2) Sheet material process: the sheet material with pattern and polishing tile powder are pressed into shape; fired to form a polishing tile embryo; polished to obtain polished tile. Although the boundary is clearer, the pattern is not clear enough, which also affects the final pattern effect.

[0006] (3) CN109293399B discloses a dry-grain brick with a stone-like embossed texture and a preparation method thereof, which comprises applying a base glaze on the brick blank, and printing a stone-like pattern by inkjet; applying glue to the stone texture of the inkjet pattern and then spreading dry grains on the brick surface; removing the dry grains that are not firmly adhered; applying a covering glaze on the brick surface, and firing. However, the pattern is directly printed on the base glaze, and the dry grains are spread on the pattern. After firing, a convex pattern will be formed on the brick surface, making it difficult to form a flat polished brick. In addition, the pattern and the base glaze are not firmly bonded, and there is a risk of falling off.

[0007] Based on this, the present invention designs a method for preparing a polished tile having a partial mosaic pattern effect to solve the above problem. Summary of the invention

[0015] Step 5: Apply dry particles on the entire surface of the brick; the dry particles are mixed with dry particles A with a diameter of 0.1 to 1 mm and dry particles B with a diameter of 1 to 2 mm in a ratio of 1:1; the dry particles B include two parts, the inside of which is made of the same raw material as the dry particles A, and the outside of the dry particles B is coated with 0.2 mm glue and then dried;
