Formation Particularities of Titanium-Containing Glaze Coatings for Floor Tiles

Resumo

The efficacy of titanium dioxide as an opacifier for glass ceramic, wear-resistant, semi-fritted, glaze coatings with the required physical, chemical, and operating characteristics for floor tiles is determined. Infrared spectroscopy, x-ray phase analysis, and electron microscopy are used to perform a comprehensive study of the formation of composition-optimized glaze coatings.
