Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of building materials technology, and more specifically, to a dual-positioning ceramic tile with a glossy / matte finish and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] As a building decoration material, the surface finish of ceramic tiles directly affects the decorative effect and user experience. Currently, most ceramic tiles on the market use a single gloss level, such as full gloss, full matte, or a single texture, making it difficult to achieve a multi-layered, contrasting gloss-matte composite effect on the same tile surface. With the market's increasing demands for decorative effects, single-gloss / matte or single-texture tiles can no longer meet the diverse and artistic design needs.
[0003] In existing technologies, to achieve a glossy-matte effect, adjustments to the glaze formula and the addition of matte agents (such as zinc oxide and calcium oxide) are often used. However, these methods often result in a monotonous surface texture, insufficient quality, and a lack of three-dimensionality and artistry. For example, Chinese patent application number CN202211441739.7 discloses a matte glaze, matte ceramic tile, and its preparation method. While it has a certain matte effect, its artistic quality still needs improvement. Another example is Chinese patent application number CN202511260219.X, which discloses a ceramic tile with a composite effect of gloss and matte finish. From bottom to top, it includes a body layer, a matte glaze layer, a pattern layer, and a gloss layer. The gloss of the matte glaze layer is less than 6 GU. The raw materials for preparing the gloss layer include gloss particles, which, by weight, consist of 60-80 parts mica titanium pearl powder, 10-20 parts coated aluminum powder, and 5-10 parts glass microspheres. This invention combines a matte glaze with shimmering particles. The matte glaze provides a soft, understated base, while the shimmering particles create localized, bright reflective points on the matte background. The two contrast sharply yet complement each other, maintaining the sophisticated texture of the matte finish while adding dynamic, shimmering highlights. This maximizes the simulation of the complex beauty of the coexistence of a matte base and the shimmering light of mineral crystals in natural stone. However, traditional matte-gloss composite tiles often use double glazing or partial printing of matte glaze, which suffers from complex processes, high costs, unnatural gloss transitions, obscured texture details, reduced clarity, weak three-dimensionality, and difficulty in accurately distinguishing different areas. Furthermore, existing matte glazes often rely on high-silicon-aluminum systems, resulting in insufficient glaze hardness and poor wear resistance. Summary of the Invention
[0004] Based on this, in order to solve one of the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides a dual-positioning ceramic tile with a glossy / matte effect and its preparation method, the specific technical solution of which is as follows:
[0005] A dual-positioning ceramic tile with a glossy / matte finish, wherein the dual-positioning ceramic tile comprises, from bottom to top, a body layer, a base glaze layer, a pattern layer, a dry granule layer, and a protective glaze layer;

[0008] The protective glaze layer is prepared by means of a protective glaze, and the protective glaze comprises the following raw materials in parts by weight: 18 to 20 parts of calcined kaolin, 30 to 45 parts of low-temperature transparent frit, 3 to 7 parts of wear-resistant reinforcing agent, 0.1 to 0.3 parts of dispersant, and 0.1 to 1 part of defoamer.
[0009] Furthermore, the initial melting temperature of the first dry granules is 1100℃~1140℃, the initial melting temperature of the second dry granules is 1000℃~1140℃, and the initial melting temperature of the low-temperature transparent frit is 900℃~1000℃.
[0010] Furthermore, the low-temperature transparent frit comprises the following chemical composition by mass percentage: SiO2: 45%~55%, Al2O3: 5%~10%, B2O3: 17%~22%, Y2O3: 1%~3%, CaO: 1%~3%, K2O: 2%~4%, Na2O: 1%~3%, ZnO: 1%~5%, and loss on ignition: 0.5%~2%.
[0011] Further, the preparation method of the wear-resistant reinforcing agent is as follows: diamond micro powder and silicon micro powder are mixed evenly and dispersed in an alcohol solution of silane coupling agent, ultrasonically dispersed, then heated to 65℃~70℃, stirred at a speed of 50r / min~100r / min for 20min~60min, and then centrifuged, washed and dried to obtain the wear-resistant reinforcing agent.
[0012] Further, by weight, the ratio of the diamond micro powder, silicon micro powder, and silane coupling agent in the alcohol solution is (4~7):(3~6):(10~25).
[0013] Furthermore, the conditions for ultrasonic dispersion are: power of 100W~200W, frequency of 20kHz~50kHz, and time of 5min~20min.
[0014] Further, the alcohol solution of the silane coupling agent is obtained by mixing γ-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane, tridecafluorooctyltriethoxysilane, ethanol and water in a weight ratio of (10~15):(7~12):(20~40):(10~30).
[0015] Furthermore, the dispersant is at least one of sodium tripolyphosphate, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, and sodium hexametaphosphate.
[0016] Furthermore, the protective glaze is prepared by mixing calcined kaolin, low-temperature transparent frit, wear-resistant reinforcing agent, dispersant and defoamer, adding water and performing wet ball milling, and passing through a 320-340 mesh sieve to obtain the protective glaze.
[0017] In addition, the present invention also provides a method for preparing a dual-positioning ceramic tile with a glossy-matte effect, the method comprising the following steps:
[0018] S1. Apply a base glaze to the body layer, and form a base glaze layer after drying;
[0019] S2. Inkjet printing is performed on the base glaze layer to form a pattern layer;
[0020] S3. Apply the first dry granules using a dry granule spreading device to form a pre-lay layer for the first dry granule positioning area, and apply the second dry granules using the same device to form a pre-lay layer for the second dry granule positioning area, thus forming a dry granule layer;
[0021] S4. Apply a protective glaze evenly to the dry granule layer, and dry it to form a protective glaze layer;
[0022] S5. Heat to 950℃~1100℃ at a heating rate of 5℃ / min~8℃ / min, hold for 10min~20min, then heat to 1150℃~1210℃ at a heating rate of 1℃ / min~3℃ / min, and fire for 40min~60min to obtain a dual-positioning ceramic tile with a glossy and matte finish.
[0023] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0024] 1. This invention sets first dry granules and second dry granules with different chemical composition ratios, so that the first dry granules have a high aluminum matte finish and the second dry granules have a low aluminum high gloss finish. After firing, the surface of the tile forms a clear dual-positioning effect of gloss and matte. Moreover, the first dry granules and the second dry granules have different particle sizes, which helps to enhance the visual contrast between gloss and matte from a physical structure perspective, resulting in better artistic appreciation.
[0025] 2. This invention optimizes the composition of the protective glaze by using a low-temperature transparent frit that melts before the first and second dry granules, effectively filling the spaces between them. This not only avoids the negative impact of direct coverage on the gloss / matte effect, promoting clear gloss / matte boundaries and a natural transition, but also helps improve the density of the tile surface. Furthermore, the low-temperature transparent frit not only has high light transmittance and excellent texture, but its vitrification also improves the tile's wear resistance.
[0026] 3. The present invention uses diamond micro powder and silicon micro powder to form a compound, and after modification treatment, it helps to improve their compatibility, dispersibility and stability in the protective glaze. The glaze with excellent density helps to improve the overall wear resistance and stain resistance of the ceramic tile.
[0027] 4. This invention optimizes the firing process by first fully melting and filling the low-temperature molten block, and then raising the temperature. The first and second dry particles melt smoothly in the molten matrix, avoiding violent reactions that could cause pinholes and wavy defects on the glaze surface. This significantly improves the appearance quality of the product and results in dual-positioning ceramic tiles with excellent wear resistance and stain resistance, exhibiting a glossy-matte finish. Detailed Implementation
[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to its embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and do not limit the scope of protection of the invention.
[0029] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein in the description of the invention is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.
[0030] An embodiment of the present invention provides a dual-positioning ceramic tile with a glossy / matte finish, wherein the dual-positioning ceramic tile comprises, from bottom to top, a body layer, a base glaze layer, a pattern layer, a dry granule layer, and a protective glaze layer;
[0031] The dry granule layer comprises a first dry granule and a second dry granule. The first dry granule comprises the following chemical composition by mass percentage: SiO2: 38%~42%, Al2O3: 20%~24%, CaO: 18%~20%, MgO: 1.5%~2%, K2O: 3%~4.5%, Na2O: 0.2%~1%, ZnO: 8%~10%, BaO: 1%~2.5%, B2O3: 1%~2.5%, and loss on ignition: 0.5%~2%.
[0032] The second dry granules comprise the following chemical composition by mass percentage: SiO2: 40%~50%, Al2O3: 10%~20%, CaO: 18%~20%, MgO: 1.5%~2%, K2O: 3%~4.5%, Na2O: 0.2%~1%, ZnO: 8%~10%, BaO: 1%~2.5%, B2O3: 1%~2.5%, and loss on ignition: 0.5%~2%.
[0033] The protective glaze layer is prepared by means of a protective glaze, and the protective glaze comprises the following raw materials in parts by weight: 18 to 20 parts of calcined kaolin, 30 to 45 parts of low-temperature transparent frit, 3 to 7 parts of wear-resistant reinforcing agent, 0.1 to 0.3 parts of dispersant, and 0.1 to 1 part of defoamer.
[0034] The above scheme modifies the composition ratio of the first and second dry granules, resulting in a matte finish for the first granules and a glossy finish for the second. After firing, this creates a dual-tone glossy / matte effect on the ceramic tile surface. The high Al2O3 content in the first dry granules significantly increases the glaze's melting temperature and high-temperature viscosity, inhibits melt flow, and facilitates the formation of microcrystalline structures during cooling, thus reducing surface gloss. The lower Al2O3 content in the second dry granules significantly increases the silicon-to-aluminum ratio, making it easier to melt and promoting vitrification. This results in a higher gloss level than the first dry granules, achieving a simultaneous glossy / matte effect.
[0035] In one embodiment, the initial melting temperature of the first dry granules is 1100℃~1140℃, the initial melting temperature of the second dry granules is 1000℃~1140℃, and the initial melting temperature of the low-temperature transparent frit is 900℃~1000℃.

[0046] In one embodiment, the protective glaze is prepared by mixing calcined kaolin, low-temperature transparent frit, wear-resistant reinforcing agent, dispersant and defoamer, adding water and performing wet ball milling, and passing through a 320-340 mesh sieve to obtain the protective glaze.

[0048] In one embodiment, the wet ball milling speed is 50 r / min to 100 r / min, and the time is 3 h to 6 h.

[0113] As shown in Table 1, this invention, through optimized composition, can obtain ceramic tiles with clear texture, excellent layering, and superior gloss / matte effects. The addition of low-temperature transparent frit protects the dual-positioning effect of gloss and matte, reduces surface defects, and yields a smooth and delicate ceramic glaze. Compared to Example 3, Comparative Examples 1 and 2 both used single dry granules, lacking the dual-positioning effect and failing to achieve the gloss / matte effect, resulting in poor artistic quality. Comparative Example 3 used high-temperature frit, whose melting behavior was synchronous with or even delayed compared to the dry granules, failing to play the role of first filling to increase the density of the glaze. This caused the first and second dry granules to interfere with each other during the melting process, resulting in blurred boundaries between the gloss and matte effects. The frit used in Comparative Example 4 contained a high content of ZrO2 and TiO2, exhibiting a strong opacifier effect, affecting the transparency of the protective glaze and consequently impacting the overall quality of the ceramic tile. The effects of the materials are as follows: In Comparative Example 5, unmodified diamond micropowder was directly added. Due to its high surface energy and hydrophobicity, it tends to agglomerate in the glaze slurry, resulting in microscopic unevenness and poor uniformity of the glaze surface after firing, which in turn affects the overall glaze effect. In Comparative Example 6, no wear-resistant reinforcing agent was added, so the effect on the glaze was not significant in the short term. In Comparative Example 7, the firing process was different, and the components were subjected to high temperature at the same time. The frit could not be fully filled and vented, resulting in defects such as pinholes and wavy patterns. This shows that the optimized firing process of this application is more conducive to obtaining ceramic tiles with clear texture, excellent layering, and excellent gloss and matte effects.
[0114] 2. The ceramic tile samples prepared in Examples 1 to 3 and the ceramic tile samples prepared in Comparative Examples 1 to 7 were subjected to performance tests. The size was 100mm × 100mm. The wear resistance was tested according to GB / T3810.7-2016, and the stain resistance was tested according to GB / T3810.14-2016. The results are shown in Table 2.

[0117] Analysis of the data in Table 2 shows that the ceramic tile of the present invention, while ensuring its glossy / matte effect, also possesses excellent wear resistance and stain resistance. Compared with Example 3, Comparative Examples 1 and 2 both used single dry granules, and their wear resistance and stain resistance levels were comparable to Example 3, indicating that the first and second dry granules mainly affect the glossy / matte effect. Comparative Example 3 used a high-temperature frit, which had a less filling effect than Example 3, resulting in lower glaze density, the presence of micropores and weak interfaces, thus affecting wear resistance and stain resistance. Comparative Example 4 used a different frit; the frit containing ZrO2 and TiO2 had an opaque effect, and its microstructure contained a large number of crystalline and glassy phase interfaces, resulting in reduced fracture toughness and lower wear resistance and stain resistance than Example 3. Comparative Example 5 directly... The addition of diamond powder without modification resulted in agglomeration, which not only affected the glaze effect and caused pinholes, but also led to poorer wear resistance and stain resistance compared to Example 3. Comparative Example 6 did not add wear-resistant enhancers. Although the glaze also had a certain wear resistance, it relied entirely on the hardness of the frit and dry particles themselves, which was far lower than the hardness of diamond. This resulted in significantly worse wear resistance than Example 3, and the poor wear resistance made it easy to get scratched. The stain resistance was also not as good as Example 3. The different firing process in Comparative Example 7 resulted in poor glaze quality, with pinholes, bubbles, and microcracks. These defects were prone to propagation during wear, resulting in poor overall performance.
