Ceramic Tile
Tile Definition
Ceramic tiles are made from clay and/or other inorganic raw materials. Through processes such as grinding, mixing, pressing, glazing, and firing, they are transformed into acid- and alkali-resistant ceramic building and decorative materials, collectively referred to as ceramic tiles.
Tile Classification
Classification according to forming process:
◎ Dry-pressed tiles
◎ Extruded tiles
Classification based on water absorption rate:
|
Water absorption rate |
