Development of anorthite based white porcelain stoneware tile compositions
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract The scope of the present study is to develop alternative white porcelain stoneware tile compositions without using zircon (ZrSiO4) which have shown better whiteness values than standard white porcelain stoneware tile composition containing zircon. These new compositions are designed to develop anorthite crystals in the microstructure. Technological properties of compositions such as water absorption (%), firing shrinkage (%) and colour (L⁎, a⁎, b⁎) were measured and compared with standard white porcelain stoneware tile. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses were also carried out. One of the new anorthite-based compositions was manufactured as white porcelain stoneware tile substitute of standard white porcelain stoneware containing zircon.
