Adding sodium tripolyphosphate when grinding glaze will make the ceramic glaze more smooth and delicate

 Dispersant is a widely used additive in the preparation of ceramic slurry, because the addition of dispersant can effectively improve the slurry performance and improve the stable dispersion effect. Ceramic dispersant has developed from traditional to many new products today. Sodium tripolyphosphate can disperse, reduce and degumm by itself, which plays an important role in ceramic production.


The basic principle of using dispersant in ceramic slurry is that the dispersant is automatically adsorbed on the solid surface of the slurry, which changes the properties of the interface and reduces the interfacial tension.


The water absorbed by the original particles is replaced by sodium tripolyphosphate as free water into the liquid phase, which is the dilution of the slurry and the increase of fluidity; Under the condition of ensuring the required slurry viscosity (i.e. fluidity), the solid content can be greatly increased, and the solid particles are adsorbed in the micro cracks to generate splitting pressure, which can be separated by increasing the depth of the micro cracks, so as to fully disperse the original agglomerated particles.


Application of sodium tripolyphosphate in degumming agent of ceramic glaze

1. Ceramic grade sodium tripolyphosphate is especially suitable for the dispersion of kaolin and bentonite. 

2. Sodium tripolyphosphate is used as a degumming agent for glazes (such as raw glaze, metal glaze, bottom glaze and matte glaze), which solves the problem of many bubbles during glaze spraying due to the fact that the glaze slurry becomes tofu brain and does not flow. It can be directly added to the mixing bucket of the glaze application line to obtain a smooth glaze surface. 

3. As a dispersant, sodium tripolyphosphate is suitable for the dispersion of coatings, refractories and ridge materials with low clay content.


The principle of adding sodium tripolyphosphate when grinding glaze: the uniformity and stability of ceramic powder particle dispersion system depend on the three main forces when the particles are close to each other.

1. Van der Waals force, which is the attraction between particles. When the particles move to the range of van der Waals force, the particles will attract each other and coalesce.

2. Electrostatic potential resistance, which is the repulsive force between particles. The electrolyte added in the dispersion system is adsorbed on the particle surface with a certain amount of charge to form an electric double layer, increase the zeta potential, generate repulsion, force the separation between particles, and the slurry tends to be dispersed and stable.

3. Steric resistance refers to the addition of uncharged polymer to the dispersion system, which is adsorbed on the particle surface to form a steric resistance layer to prevent particles from colliding and aggregating with each other.


The small particle size, large specific surface area and high surface energy of ceramic slurry lead to the serious agglomeration of glaze particles, which can easily lead to the low hardness, tensile strength and fracture resistance of ceramic body. Therefore, it is necessary to add appropriate sodium tripolyphosphate as dispersant in the process of preparing ceramic slurry to reduce the surface energy of ceramic powder and achieve the effect of uniform dispersion. In the ceramic glaze system with good dispersion, the raw material of ceramic body is the gap between particles, and the sintered ceramic glaze is smoother and more delicate than the traditional ceramic glaze, and the performance of heat resistance and corrosion prevention is better.

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
