Vitrified glaze composition sintered at low temperatures and vitrified ceramic product in which said glaze is applied

Abstract

The invention relates to a glaze composition, which enables the vitrified ceramic glazes to be sintered at temperatures lower than 1100°C, enables the sintering temperature to be reduced to as low as 750°C, has lower sintering and softening temperatures compared to the state of the art, and features the desired wetting, opacity, cover, and surface and chemical stain resistance properties; a vitrified body, which is developed for use with said glaze composition; and a vitrified ceramic product, in which said glaze composition is applied Owing to the invention, it is made possible to obtain a vitrified glaze composition, a body composition, and a vitrified ceramic product, which enable to lower the sintering temperatures and shorten the sintering duration for the raw materials in the vitrified ceramics, while at the same time enabling to preserve the physical and mechanical properties of the ceramics, and reducing loss of time, energy consumption and costs and increasing production efficiency in the production process for the ceramic sanitary ware, wherein said vitrified glaze composition, body composition, and vitrified ceramic product allow the ceramic production to be carried out upon an optimization of the conventional production method without having to alter the conventional kiln type.
