Importance of adding sodium tripolyphosphate(STPP) in ceramic production process

In modern daily life, everyone likes exquisite ceramics, but they don't know the process of making a piece of porcelain. It is also an important part to add sodium tripolyphosphate(STPP) as dispersant in the manufacture of ceramics. In the preparation of ceramic slurry, high quality dispersant is helpful to wetting, grinding, dilution and stability, and plays an important role in improving the performance of ceramic products and reducing the manufacturing cost.

Particularly, it takes a lot of time to crush the particle size to micron size. In the process of wet milling, due to the impact, proximity and attraction of molecules or particles, the powder tends to agglomerate, and the phenomenon of "reverse grinding" occurs. In the process of grinding, when the material reaches a certain fineness, it will continue to grind, and the grinding will become coarser and coarser.

The dilution of ceramic slurry requires both high solid content and good fluidity. Adding a certain amount of sodium tripolyphosphate(STPP) as dispersant can effectively reduce the viscosity of the slurry. Adding sodium tripolyphosphate(STPP) can play a diluting role. At the same time, the use of medium can be reduced appropriately, which is conducive to reducing the energy consumption in the process of sequential treatment.

Adding sodium tripolyphosphate(STPP) as dispersant can firmly adsorb the cracks of particles and penetrate deep into the cracks. The new interface formed in the process of particle grinding is quickly encapsulated by dispersant, which hinders the re-integration of the new interface and accelerates the grinding process, obviously shortens the grinding time, saves energy consumption and improves grinding efficiency.

In the absence of dispersant, particles are mainly affected by the following four forces in water: gravity, buoyancy, particles, water interfacial tension and interaction between particles, resulting in easy settling of particles and poor slurry stability; while sodium tripolyphosphate(STPP) is used as dispersant to adsorb on the surface of particles, the surface of the original particles is partially or totally covered by dispersant, which hinders the particles. Agglomeration can improve suspension and stability of slurry.

It is worth mentioning that the ceramic grade sodium triphosphate(STPP) produced by CDchem is specially developed for ceramic production. Compared with ordinary industrial grade sodium triphosphate(STPP), it has more than 20 internal control indicators which are more suitable for ceramic production.

What role will industrial grade sodium hexametaphosphate manufacturers play in the future coating industry?

图片
The keyword in 2019 is environmental protection and safety. In 2020, environmental protection and safety hurricanes will be more violent. In the manufacturing industry, whether it's packaging, printing, furniture, shipping industry or the phosphate raw material manufacturing enterprises like Chongqing Chuandong Chemical Group that produce  industrial grade sodium hexametaphosphate , it's a good choice to withstand the environmental storm and the obvious environmental protection conditions of the enterprise itself. Take the paint industry for example, the current paint market can be found that although the domestic paint industry has achieved rapid development and formed a certain industry scale, but in the domestic high-end paint market, the domestic paint brands or enterprises are indeed few, and the domestic high-end paint market is still occupied by most of the market share of imported brands. In fact, all industries need to use coatings, and environmental protection coating

What is the use of calcium formate industrial grade in construction? The manufacturer tells you

  With the development of the city's economy, the construction of highways, bridges, tunnels, and civil construction projects will require stricter use of early strength agents. Especially in winter, in order to improve the construction period, the cement mortar needs to be raised as soon as possible and put into use.   Calcium formate industrial grade   is a good early strength agent. Although both calcium formate and calcium chloride are calcium salts, relatively speaking, the performance of calcium formate is more stable. Because the formic acid in calcium formate is a weak acid. The solution will be weakly alkaline during the hydrolysis in the aqueous solution. It can be widely used in mortar. Calcium formate industrial grade is now a newly developed low temperature early strength accelerator in China, which has been widely used in various construction cement mortars. The earliest known and used chlorine salt early strength agent in construction, but the chloride salt early str

The effect of calcium supplement with feed grade calcium formate is good when crops are short of calcium

  Is it true that crops also need calcium supplements? it is true. Crops are plants, like humans and animals, that need rich trace elements to help them grow. When crops are calcium-deficient, plant growth is hindered, and the internodes are shorter, so they are generally shorter than normal plants and have soft tissues. Since calcium has such a big effect, is it good to use   feed grade calcium formate   to supplement calcium? The meristems such as the apical buds, lateral buds, and root tips of crops with calcium-deficient plants first appear nutrient deficiency, which is perishable, the young leaves are curled and deformed, and the leaf edges begin to turn yellow and become necrotic. For example, calcium deficiency can cause leaf scorch disease in cabbage, cabbage and lettuce; tomato, pepper, watermelon, etc. have heart rot; apples have bitter pox and water heart disease. No matter how much is useless, the crops are short of calcium. If we want to achieve the actual effect, what sho
