Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of ceramic materials technology, and more specifically, to a limestone-resistant glazed ceramic tile and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] Limestone is a natural limestone formed from the remains of marine organisms such as shells and corals from the seabed hundreds of millions of years ago, deposited and compressed through long-term geological processes. Because it often retains fossil traces of these ancient organisms, it has earned the reputation of "stone of life." Limestone has a gentle color, typically in low-saturation shades such as off-white, beige, and gray, with delicate and varied textures. It possesses a retro, elegant quality and a weathered look, making it a favorite element for many designers. Meanwhile, glaze, as a key ceramic material, plays a crucial role in improving the performance of ceramic products. Currently, optimizing the glaze quality while achieving a limestone glaze design, thereby improving the product's quality and grade, has become a core objective for many ceramic companies. In ceramic tiles and other products, the stain resistance and anti-slip properties of the glaze directly determine its actual service life and performance. Insufficient stain resistance leads to stains that are difficult to remove, affecting aesthetics; poor anti-slip properties increase the risk of slipping and endangering personal safety in flooring applications.
[0003] Stain resistance and slip resistance, as two key properties of ceramics, often exhibit a mutually restrictive relationship. This inherent contradiction stems from the different requirements they place on the ceramic glaze: excellent stain resistance typically requires a smooth and dense glaze to resist contaminant adhesion; while good slip resistance often relies on a rough glaze surface to increase friction. However, this structure designed for increased roughness becomes a site for trapping dust and dirt, thus weakening its stain-resistant effect. Current traditional glaze technology struggles to overcome the constraint between high stain resistance and high slip resistance, often resulting in performance compromises in existing ceramic products, making it difficult to achieve an ideal synergistic effect. Therefore, how to simultaneously achieve excellent stain resistance and slip resistance on ceramic tile glazes has become a topic worthy of in-depth research.

[0012] In an optional embodiment, the ceramic brick body layer is made by mixing 100 parts of body material with 35-50 parts of water, 0.1-0.3 parts of methylcellulose and 0.2-0.4 parts of sodium tripolyphosphate, which is then sieved after a first ball milling, and subsequently pressed and dried.

Preferably, the second aging time is 24-48 hours; Preferably, the specific gravity of the glaze slurry during glazing is 1.25-1.35 g / cm³. 3 The glaze application rate is 90-110 g / m². 2 .
[0015] Secondly, the present invention provides a limestone-resistant glazed ceramic tile, which is prepared by the method for preparing limestone-resistant glazed ceramic tiles as described in any of the foregoing embodiments.
[0016] The present invention has the following beneficial effects: The method for preparing anti-lime stone glazed ceramic tiles provided by this invention limits the chemical composition of the surface glaze, the raw materials and chemical composition of the protective glaze, and the firing temperature. Among them, the surface glaze has a high content of SiO2 and Al2O3, which can form the glass phase skeleton of the glaze layer and ensure the basic density of the glaze. ZrO2 improves the chemical and thermal stability of the glaze, reduces high-temperature defects, and improves the hardness and impermeability of the glaze, effectively preventing dirt from penetrating. Alkali metal oxides (K2O, Na2O) and alkaline earth metal oxides (CaO, MgO) act as fluxes, lowering the melting temperature and allowing the surface glaze to fully melt during firing, forming a continuous and dense surface layer. The loss on ignition is low, and there are few residual volatile components after firing. The surface glaze substrate is relatively flat and dense, providing a uniform adhesion substrate for the protective glaze and avoiding dirt from penetrating and accumulating due to an excessively loose substrate. The protective glaze is a mixture of CBP5005Z slurry, G1099 slurry, and G1099 dry granules in a ratio of 1:0.5-1.5:0.5-1.5. This design aims to leverage the complementary strengths of the structure-controlled CBP5005Z slurry and the dense, stable G1099 slurry and dry granules. The CBP5005Z slurry is rich in BaO and ZnO, which act as strong fluxes, lowering the melting temperature of the protective glaze, promoting glass phase formation, and simultaneously reducing the surface energy of the glaze, thus decreasing the adhesion of contaminants. It has a high loss on ignition and contains a significant amount of high-temperature volatile / decomposed components. During firing, these volatile components release gases, forming micro-pits and phase-separated structures within the glaze layer, introducing a moderate roughness to the surface. Furthermore, during firing, the G1099 dry granules only partially melt or retain their granular shape, resulting in micron-level protrusions on the surface. The CBP5005Z and G1099 slurries melt to form a glass matrix that fills the gaps between particles, preventing dirt from accumulating. This provides friction points without the tendency for dirt to accumulate as easily as on a rough surface. Furthermore, the controlled firing temperature ensures that the dry particles in the protective glaze partially melt, maintaining their morphology and bonding firmly to the glass matrix, preventing particle detachment. These features balance smoothness and roughness at the microscale, achieving both high stain resistance and high slip resistance. The limestone-like glaze layer formed through the above-designed formulation of the surface glaze and protective glaze components possesses both slip and stain-resistant properties and is highly similar to natural limestone. This structure not only meets usage requirements but also overcomes the traditional trade-off between stain resistance and slip resistance, providing a new approach to the design of high-performance ceramic tile glazes.

It should be understood that the following drawings only show some embodiments of the present invention and should not be regarded as a limitation on the scope. For those skilled in the art, other related drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative effort.

Detailed Implementation
[0019] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below. Where specific conditions are not specified in the embodiments, conventional conditions or conditions recommended by the manufacturer shall apply. Reagents or instruments whose manufacturers are not specified are all conventional products that can be purchased commercially.
[0020] This invention provides a method for preparing anti-lime stone glazed ceramic tiles, which includes: applying a surface glaze to the surface of a ceramic tile body layer to form a surface glaze layer; printing a pattern on the surface of the surface glaze layer to form an inkjet printing layer; applying a protective glaze to the surface of the inkjet printing layer to form a protective glaze layer; and then firing at 1200-1220 °C.
[0021] Specifically, it includes the following steps: S1. Prepare the ceramic brick body layer.
[0022] The ceramic tile body layer is made by mixing 100 parts of body material with 35-50 parts of water, 0.1-0.3 parts of methylcellulose and 0.2-0.4 parts of sodium tripolyphosphate, which is then sieved after the first ball milling, and subsequently pressed and dried.
[0023] The green body material can be made from commonly used green body raw materials in the field. The present invention provides a typical but non-limiting example: the raw materials of the green body material include, by mass fraction: 2-5 parts of low temperature sand, 25-29 parts of sodium calcite powder, 13-18 parts of ball clay, 12-16 parts of super white sand, 20-35 parts of high white sand, 3-8 parts of potassium sodium sand, 2-7 parts of bentonite and 2-5 parts of talc.
[0024] Weigh the above-mentioned green body material according to the formula composition. Add 35-50 parts of water, 0.1-0.3 parts of methylcellulose and 0.2-0.4 parts of sodium tripolyphosphate to 100 parts of green body material and mix. After ball milling for 2-4 hours, sieve the mixture. The particle size distribution after ball milling is as follows: ≤2.0% for particles above 20 mesh, 45%-55% for particles above 40 mesh, 80%-90% for particles above 60 mesh, and ≤2.2% for particles below 100 mesh.
[0025] "Particle size distribution" refers to the proportion of particles of different sizes in the raw material of the green body. ≤2.0% of particles larger than 20 mesh indicates that coarse particles that cannot pass through a 20-mesh sieve account for no more than 2.0% of the total mass. 45-55% of particles larger than 40 mesh indicates that particles that cannot pass through a 40-mesh sieve (including coarse particles larger than 20 mesh) account for 45%-55% of the total mass. 80-90% of particles larger than 60 mesh indicates that particles that cannot pass through a 60-mesh sieve (including particles larger than 20 and 40 mesh) account for 80%-90% of the total mass. ≤2.2% of particles smaller than 100 mesh indicates that fine particles that can pass through a 100-mesh sieve account for no more than 2.2% of the total mass.
[0026] The above particle size distribution ensures the uniformity of raw materials and the subsequent molding effect.
[0027] The pressing is carried out using a 30,000-ton System press at a pressure of 350-370 bar, with a pressing cycle of 92.6-102.6 times / hour. The thickness of the ceramic tile body layer after pressing is 6-12 mm.
[0028] S2. Apply a surface glaze to the surface of the ceramic tile body to form a surface glaze layer.
[0029] The surface glaze layer is formed by applying surface glaze material to the ceramic tile body layer. Specifically, the surface glaze layer is made by mixing 100 parts surface glaze material with 35-45 parts water, 0.2-0.3 parts methylcellulose and 0.2-0.4 parts sodium tripolyphosphate, which is then sieved after a second ball milling and after a first aging process. The mixture is then poured onto the surface of the ceramic tile body layer and dried.
[0030] The chemical composition of the glaze, by mass percentage, includes: SiO2 47.49-52.49%, Al2O3 21.34-24.18%, Fe2O3 0.22-0.25%, TiO2 0.10-0.14%, CaO 3.06-4.66%, MgO 1.51-2.05%, K2O 2.68-3.05%, Na2O 1.94-2.64%, ZrO2 9.59-10.81%, BaO 1.47-1.94%, SrO 0.01-0.58%, B2O3 0.01-0.08%, P2O5 0.01-0.25%, ZnO 0.46-1.50%, and LOI 4.86-6.25%. From the chemical composition of the glaze provided by this invention, the glaze contains high levels of SiO2 and Al2O3, which form the glassy phase framework of the glaze layer, ensuring the basic density of the glaze surface. ZrO2 enhances the chemical and thermal stability of the glaze, reduces high-temperature defects, and improves the hardness and impermeability of the glaze surface, effectively preventing dirt from penetrating. Alkali metal oxides (K2O, Na2O) and alkaline earth metal oxides (CaO, MgO) act as fluxes, lowering the melting temperature and allowing the glaze to fully melt during firing, forming a continuous and dense surface layer. The loss on ignition is low, resulting in fewer residual volatile components after firing. The glaze substrate is relatively flat and dense, providing a uniform adhesion substrate for the protective glaze and preventing dirt from penetrating and accumulating due to an excessively loose substrate.
[0031] The raw materials for the glaze can be common chemical raw materials used in the field, as long as their proportions meet the above-mentioned chemical composition of the glaze. The present invention provides a typical but not limiting example: the raw materials of the glaze include, by mass parts: 6.5-9 parts of nepheline, 14.5-19.5 parts of potassium feldspar, 7-10 parts of dolomite, 8.5-11 parts of calcined clay, 7.5-9 parts of kaolin, 0.5-1.5 parts of zinc oxide, 4-6 parts of F2 frit, 1.5-2.5 parts of wollastonite, 14.5-20 parts of zirconium silicate, 7-9 parts of alumina, 17-20 parts of quartz, and 4-6 parts of GB0306 frit.
[0032] The chemical composition of the F2 ingot, calculated by mass percentage, includes: SiO2 38.29-41.43%, Al2O3 12.48-14.66%, Fe2O3 0.01-0.03%, TiO2 0.02-0.05%, CaO 0.56-1.24%, MgO 1.54-2.56%, K2O 2.01-2.55%, Na2O 2.76-3.88%, B2O3 0.10-0.20%, BaO 34.15-40.58%, SrO 0.10-0.30%, and LOI 0.04-0.06%.
[0033] The chemical composition of GB0306 frit, calculated as a percentage by mass, includes: SiO2 39.26-43.69%, Al2O3 18.87-23.46%, Fe2O3 0.10-0.20%, TiO2 0.04-0.07%, CaO 3.96-6.32%, MgO 0.10-0.20%, K2O 3.69-5.71%, Na2O 15.59-19.02%, P2O5 0.25-0.39%, BaO 0.06-0.09%, SrO 0.01-0.03%, ZrO2 5.41-7.98%, and LOI 1.01-1.50%.
[0034] In this invention, the above-mentioned raw materials are subjected to a second ball milling. Ball milling can refine the raw materials, which is conducive to the uniformity of subsequent glazing. The second ball milling time is 4-6 hours, and the material is passed through a 160-180 mesh sieve with a sieve residue of 0.6%-0.9%.
[0035] In this invention, the raw materials after ball milling and sieving undergo a first aging process to improve the properties of the slurry and lay the foundation for subsequent molding and sintering. The first aging period is 24-48 hours. The specific gravity of the glaze slurry during glazing is 1.45-1.55 g / cm³. 3 The glaze application rate can be 220-260 g / m². 2 .
[0036] Among them, "specific gravity" refers to the density of the slurry (mass of slurry per unit volume), which directly affects the flow properties of the glaze slurry; "glaze application amount" refers to the total amount of glaze slurry applied to the surface of the ceramic body, which determines the final thickness and uniformity of the glaze layer. Both together affect the quality of the glaze surface.
[0037] S3. Print patterns on the surface of the glaze layer to form an inkjet printing layer.
[0038] Using a KEDA inkjet printer, the printhead height can be adjusted from 6.5 to 12.5 mm. The printhead height should be adjusted to be slightly greater than the thickness of the ceramic tile body. The desired pattern is printed on the surface of the glaze layer. The ceramic tile body with the glaze and printed pattern is then conveyed by belt to the drying kiln for drying, ensuring the ceramic tile body temperature is 150-200 °C.
[0039] S4. Apply a protective glaze to the surface of the inkjet printing layer to form a protective glaze layer.
[0040] The protective glaze layer is formed by applying protective glaze to the inkjet printing layer. Specifically, the protective glaze layer is made by mixing 100 parts of protective glaze with 35-45 parts of water, 0.2-0.3 parts of methylcellulose and 0.2-0.4 parts of sodium tripolyphosphate, which is then sieved after a third ball milling and a second aging process. The mixture is then sprayed onto the surface of the inkjet printing layer and dried. The protective glaze is composed of CBP5005Z slurry, G1099 slurry, and G1099 dry granules in a mass ratio of 1:0.5-1.5:0.5-1.5. The chemical composition of the protective glaze layer, calculated as a percentage by mass, includes: SiO2 49.09-51.26%, Al2O3 16.52-19.77%, Fe2O3 0.11-0.20%, TiO2 0.05-0.15%, CaO 4.81-7.00%, MgO 0.92-1.72%, K2O 1.58-3.15%, Na2O 2.09-3.51%, B2O3 0.08-0.25%, BaO 8.85-10.26%, SrO 0.62-1.55%, ZrO2 0.01-0.06%, ZnO 3.29-4.11%, P2O5 0.03-0.15%, and LOI 2.36-4.64%.
[0041] In this invention, the protective glaze is a compound of CBP5005Z slurry, G1099 slurry, and G1099 dry granules. The invention utilizes the complementary structural control of CBP5005Z slurry and the dense stability of G1099 slurry and dry granules. CBP5005Z slurry is rich in BaO and ZnO, which act as strong fluxes, lowering the melting temperature of the protective glaze, promoting glass phase formation, and simultaneously reducing the surface energy of the glaze, thus reducing the adhesion of contaminants. It has a high loss on ignition and contains a significant amount of high-temperature volatile / decomposed components. During firing, these volatile components release gases, forming micro-pits and phase-separated structures in the glaze layer, introducing appropriate roughness to the glaze surface. Furthermore, during firing, the G1099 dry granules only partially melt or maintain their particle shape, thereby forming micron-level protrusions on the surface.

[0089] Comparative Example 5 The difference between this comparative example and Example 1 is that in this comparative example, the mass ratio of CBP5005Z slurry, G1099 slurry, and G1099 dry granules is 1:2:1. The chemical composition, calculated as a percentage by mass, includes: SiO2 49.86%, Al2O3 18.66%, Fe2O3 0.17%, TiO2 0.10%, CaO 5.75%, MgO 1.39%, K2O 2.65%, Na2O 2.60%, B2O3 0.11%, ZrO2 0.01%, P2O5 0.08%, BaO 10.15%, ZnO 3.83%, SrO 1.32%, and LOI 2.46%.

[0091] Comparative Example 7 The difference between this comparative example and Example 1 is that the firing temperature of the upper and lower surfaces of the green body was changed to 1222-1230 °C.
[0092] Experimental Example The ceramic tiles provided in the above embodiments and comparative examples were subjected to stain resistance and slip resistance tests. The stain resistance performance of the ceramic tile glaze was tested according to GB / T3810.14-2016 "Ceramic Tiles Test Methods Part 14: Determination of Stain Resistance". At the same time, the slip resistance performance of the ceramic slab glaze was determined using an 89100 pendulum slip resistance tester according to GB / T37798-2019 "Evaluation of Slip Resistance Performance Grade of Ceramic Tiles".
[0093] The testing methods included: In the stain resistance test, standard pollutants such as light oil containing a green pollutant, 13g / L iodine tincture, and olive oil were used to contaminate the ceramic tile glaze. After 24 hours, the surface was cleaned, and the stain level was assessed according to a 5-level standard (Table 1). The slip resistance test used the pendulum method to determine the frictional resistance value (PTV) of the glaze surface in a wet state, and the level was also assessed according to a 5-level standard (Table 1). The results of all tests are summarized in Table 2.
[0094] Table 1. Grading Table for Stain Resistance and Slip Resistance
[0095] Table 2. Statistical table of test results for stain resistance and slip resistance levels of different examples
[0096] As can be seen from the table above, the anti-lime stone glazed ceramic tiles provided in the embodiments of the present invention all have good stain resistance and anti-slip properties.
[0097] In Comparative Examples 1-4, omitting certain raw materials of the protective glaze significantly reduced the anti-slip effect. Specifically, in Comparative Example 1, without the addition of G1099 dry granules, the stain resistance was high, but the anti-slip effect was low; in Comparative Example 2, without the addition of G1099 paste, the stain resistance was high, but the anti-slip effect was low; in Comparative Example 3, without the addition of CBP5005Z paste, the stain resistance was high, but the anti-slip effect was low; and in Comparative Example 4, without the addition of both G1099 paste and G1099 dry granules, the stain resistance was high, but the anti-slip effect was at its lowest. This demonstrates that these components cannot be arbitrarily omitted and that they have a synergistic effect. In Comparative Example 5, changing the ratio of CBP5005Z paste, G1099 paste, and G1099 dry granules in the protective glaze to 1:2:1 resulted in a higher anti-slip effect but a lower stain resistance; this proves that the proportions of these components are crucial. Comparative Example 6: When the F2 frit and GB0306 frit in the glaze were omitted, the stain resistance was lower, but the slip resistance was higher. Comparative Example 7: When the firing temperature was significantly increased, the stain resistance was higher, but the slip resistance was lower.
[0098] In summary, the preparation method of the anti-lime stone glazed ceramic tile provided by this invention limits the chemical composition of the surface glaze, the raw materials and chemical composition of the protective glaze, and the firing temperature. Among them, the surface glaze has a high content of SiO2 and Al2O3, which can form the glass phase skeleton of the glaze layer and ensure the basic density of the glaze surface; ZrO2 improves the chemical and thermal stability of the glaze, reduces high-temperature defects, and at the same time improves the hardness and impermeability of the glaze surface, effectively preventing dirt from penetrating; alkali metal oxides (K2O, Na2O) and alkaline earth metal oxides (CaO, MgO) act as fluxes, lowering the melting temperature, allowing the surface glaze to fully melt during firing and form a continuous and dense surface layer; the loss on ignition is low, and there are few residual volatile components after firing. The surface glaze substrate is relatively flat and dense, providing a uniform adhesion substrate for the protective glaze and avoiding dirt from penetrating and accumulating due to an excessively loose substrate. The protective glaze is a mixture of CBP5005Z slurry, G1099 slurry, and G1099 dry granules in a ratio of 1:0.5-1.5:0.5-1.5. This design aims to leverage the complementary strengths of the structure-controlled CBP5005Z slurry and the dense, stable G1099 slurry and dry granules. The CBP5005Z slurry is rich in BaO and ZnO, which act as strong fluxes, lowering the melting temperature of the protective glaze, promoting glass phase formation, and simultaneously reducing the surface energy of the glaze, thus decreasing the adhesion of contaminants. It has a high loss on ignition and contains a significant amount of high-temperature volatile / decomposed components. During firing, these volatile components release gases, forming micro-pits and phase-separated structures within the glaze layer, introducing a moderate roughness to the surface. Furthermore, during firing, the G1099 dry granules only partially melt or retain their granular shape, resulting in micron-level protrusions on the surface. The CBP5005Z and G1099 slurries melt to form a glass matrix that fills the gaps between particles, preventing dirt from accumulating. This provides friction points without the tendency for dirt to accumulate as easily as on a rough surface. Furthermore, the controlled firing temperature ensures that the dry particles in the protective glaze partially melt, maintaining their morphology and bonding firmly to the glass matrix, preventing particle detachment. These features balance smoothness and roughness at the microscale, achieving both high stain resistance and high slip resistance. The limestone-like glaze layer formed through the above-designed formulation of the surface glaze and protective glaze components possesses both slip and stain-resistant properties and is highly similar to natural limestone. This structure not only meets usage requirements but also overcomes the traditional trade-off between stain resistance and slip resistance, providing a new approach to the design of high-performance ceramic tile glazes.
