Tiles Raw Material Purchase Price + Preparation Method
You may want to study raw material of ceramic tiles in a list and know about its processes and percentages
tiles raw material list
Ceramics have been produced in the world for thousands of years and used for walling and flooring of many houses
It was so simple and weak at first, but further improved and changed its processes and materials to improve its resistance and beauty
In ancient times, ceramics were often made of clay, lime, and adhesives
But today, its raw materials have been changed to increase its resistance, beauty, and water permeability
Certainly, different raw materials with different formulas are used between tiles, ceramics, and slabs
The detailed explanation and statement of all the raw materials with details and their required quality review are not included in this article, and we will suffice with a brief selection of them for your familiarity
ceramic tiles include white clay, feldspar, calcite, illicit, talc, kaolinitic clay, sand, and dolomite
Each type of ceramic differs in the percentage used of these materials
These differences in thickness, resistance to impact, and water are effective, so which gives each of these ceramics a special feature
For example, some ceramics must stay at a temperature of 1160 degrees for an hour to be baked
But in some others, the temperature should increase up to 1175 degrees
A very important point in raw materials is that the use of high-quality raw materials can increase the resistance of your ceramics against water to 0
01%, while in old tiles or ceramics obtained from the old method, the resistance against water is below 50%
Our company has begun to provide the highest quality ceramics and their production, which gives it the power to export
Also, we always do different analyzes of our raw materials in order to export them

Before combining the raw materials, you must choose and classify the raw materials according to the color and design you want
Choosing the right raw materials in the exact formula will help you to create a color according to your desire and excellent quality in your product
The use of colored raw materials and their percentage should be calculated and checked at the very beginning
After selecting the raw materials and collecting them, the raw materials are charged into the giant mixer
During the mixing process, a certain amount of water is added to them
After that, ball gravel is added to the mix to help break the material into smaller particles
At the end of this process, a slip is produced
The next step in making porcelain ceramics is to add colored grains to the slip mixture
These seeds are added to the slip in mixing at a very high speed to produce colored bodies
After mixing the materials and colors, it is time to separate the water added to our mixture
At this stage, the liquid is introduced into a device to evaporate the water mixed with the raw material by raising the temperature
This step continues until our liquid mixture turns into a powder
To produce green tiles, the powder materials must be pressed by a strong pressing machine with a power of more than 7000 tons, so that it becomes a coherent mass of materials and low porosity to obtain an acceptable resistance and permeability of water
To avoid cracking during shrinkage of green tiles during drying, they are dried in a relatively humid environment with low temperatures and slowly remove the remaining water
Now it is the turn of the design and color of the tile on the body, which is printed by laser
Then a layer of glossy or matte glaze is added to it to be highly resistant to moisture and discoloration
After these steps, we enter the firing phase
At this stage, the tile is placed in a roller furnace at a temperature of 1200 degrees and above so that its glaze and color are stable, its material becomes a hard and resistant material, and the remaining water is removed from it
Depending on the thickness and size of the tile, the duration and temperature of its final baking are different
Tiles raw Material suppliers
Considering that ceramics are made from raw materials such as clay, feldspar, bentonite, and kaolin and there are no mines of these minerals in all countries of the world, preparing these materials to start producing ceramics is the first and biggest step for many companies
Due to having 9% of the world’s minerals and rich soil, Iran has the ability to produce a large amount of ceramic raw materials
To produce a good ceramic, high-quality raw materials as well as good production technology and equipment are very important and effective
Many European countries with advanced technology have the ability to produce a large volume of ceramics in various designs and sizes
But in the preparation of raw materials for production, he encountered problems or had to procure these materials at a high price
Our commercial company, in close cooperation with many ceramic manufacturing factories, has been able to prepare various types of ceramics in remarkable quality and prepare them for export, and by communicating with many active and high-quality mines in Iran, to provide raw materials
our factories announce their presence
You can test and compare our minerals such as kaolin, feldspar, or bentonite by contacting our consultants in the sale of minerals and comparing their prices
My colleagues are always ready to give you the necessary advice and guidance on the site about the characteristics and quality of these minerals
Although the big ceramic companies of the world do not easily share their formulas and technology with others, with science and knowledge, you can produce the best ceramics with high-quality raw materials
Anyway, our market is ready to accompany you in the preparation of raw materials for the production of ceramics or the sale of building ceramics with the best quality and price
