Can technical grade sodium tripolyphosphate improve the flow instability of ceramic glaze?

 Ceramic production technology has been explored and precipitated since ancient times. Glaze is an important raw material in ceramic production, and the performance of glaze slurry is also a process link prone to problems. The unstable flow rate of ceramic glaze can not be solved by raw material formula alone. Combined with the development of modern science and technology, the stability of glaze performance can be reasonably adjusted and improved by additives such as technical grade sodium tripolyphosphate.


Such problems are often encountered in production: after the glaze slurry (especially raw glaze) is stored for a period of time, the flow rate will be unstable like tofu flower, commonly known as poor thixotropy. In serious cases, bell jar glaze spraying can not be implemented at all.


Sodium tripolyphosphate is also called water reducing agent and degumming agent. Technical grade sodium tripolyphosphate used in ceramic industry has obvious degumming effect on ceramic slurry, especially ceramic glaze. Its function can dilute the glaze slurry and improve the fluidity of the slurry under the condition of low moisture. At the same viscosity, the glaze strength and water retention of sodium tripolyphosphate are better than ordinary degumming agents, and the glaze slurry is not easy to deteriorate.


Some tests show that in the once fired frit glaze, simazhong sticks c50g methyl, the addition amount is 0.12%, and the sodium tripolyphosphate of Chuandong Chemical is 0.25%. The glaze slurry can remain unchanged for one week, the specific gravity flow rate is basically stable within one week, and the semi raw material glaze can be maintained for more than half a month. In the secondary firing frit glaze, Sima low viscosity c25g or c12g methyl is selected, the addition amount is 0.08% and sodium tripolyphosphate of Chuandong Chemical is 0.16%, which has no problem for one week, and is especially suitable for online roller printing process.


The appropriate amount of additives can also increase the glaze strength and reduce the damage to the glaze caused by external forces such as wire mesh scraper and edge washing. For antique bricks with polishing and brushing process, since the polishing and brushing grinding head has a large force on the glaze, the glaze must ensure sufficient strength to prevent damage and facilitate polishing and brushing.


Therefore, under the condition of ensuring that the glaze slurry does not precipitate, the type and amount of technical grade sodium tripolyphosphate also need to be determined through many experiments to maintain a high specific gravity and good fluidity.

The manufacturer tells you the dispersing effect of sodium hexametaphosphate

The dispersing effect of sodium hexametaphosphate is due to its hydrolyzed anions adsorbed on the particle surface. In order to improve the dispersing effect, the hydrolysis degree of the dispersant can be selectively increased. It is believed that we all know that the function of dispersant is to increase the distance between the large particles to be dispersed in the solution and reduce the viscosity of the whole solution. However, the amount of   sodium hexametaphosphate   used in the dispersion of different substances is also different. In the process of material dispersion, the surface of large particles adsorbs the dispersant to form a double electric layer, and anions are closely adsorbed on the surface of particles, which is called surface ions. Ions with opposite charges in the medium are called anti ions. In the process of medium movement, particles and particles, as well as the electric double layer and the electric double layer have the same charge, which will generate elec

Non-antibiotic growth promoter potassium diformate helps pig industry return to its essence

  The high profitability of the pig industry will not last, and the future development of the industry still needs to return to the essence of pig raising. The non-antibiotic growth-promoting agent   potassium diformate  helps return to the essence of breeding and helps control the cost and quality of the pig industry. Biosecurity has become the access condition of today's pig industry. Potassium diformate has the following functions and functions to return the essence of pig farming to the breeding industry: (1) Adjust the palatability of feed and increase animal feed intake. (2) Improve the environment of the animal's digestive tract and lower the pH of the stomach and small intestine. (3) It has anti-bacterial and growth-promoting effects. The addition of potassium diformate can significantly reduce the content of anaerobic bacteria, Lactobacillus, Escherichia coli and Salmonella in each segment of the digestive tract. Improve the resistance of animals to diseases and reduce

The factory tells you food grade sodium tripolyphosphate/STPP requires heavy metal purification

Condiments, meat products, edible oil, dairy products, drinks, etc. are all necessities of daily life. Some food additives will be used in the production and processing process. The use of additives also makes people more concerned about "safety on the tip of the tongue".  Sodium tripolyphosphate/STPP  is widely used in food additives. Chongqing Chuandong Chemical Group will show you the main applications of sodium tripolyphosphate/STPP in the food industry: 1. Food grade sodium tripolyphosphate is used in meat products, fish sausage, ham, etc., which can improve the water holding capacity, increase the cohesiveness and prevent fat oxidation; 2. For fruit drinks and cool drinks, it can improve the juice yield, increase the viscosity and inhibit the decomposition of vitamin C. 3. It can prevent discoloration, increase viscosity, shorten fermentation period and adjust taste when used in soybean paste and soy sauce. 4. For ice cream, it can improve the expansion capacity, increa
