The toilet is an essential piece of furniture for every household, so what are the toilet raw materials needed to make the toilet? Today we, as a toilet manufacturer, will reveal the secret to you. The raw materials used by toilet manufacturing factories to produce ceramic toilets mainly include clay, quartz sand, feldspar and clay. Among them, clay is the most important raw material, accounting for more than 50% of the total proportion. The function and ratio of each raw material used by toilet manufacturers in the production process will be introduced one by one below.

raw material

1. Clay, clay is mainly composed of silicate and aluminate, which has good plasticity and plasticity. Its role is to provide the basic structure of the porcelain body and control the shrinkage and strength of ceramic products. The proportion of clay generally accounts for more than 50% of the total proportion, and the toilet manufacturer can adjust it according to the needs.

2. Quartz sand, quartz sand is mainly composed of silicon dioxide, which is a hard mineral in ceramic materials. The role of quartz sand is to increase the hardness and wear resistance of the porcelain body and improve the surface gloss of the product. The proportion of quartz sand generally accounts for about 20% of the total proportion.

3. Feldspar, feldspar is mainly composed of sodium, calcium, aluminum, silicon and other elements, and is a common rock mineral. The role of feldspar is to increase the plasticity of the porcelain body, reduce the sintering temperature of the porcelain body, and adjust the sintering shrinkage of the porcelain body. The proportion of feldspar generally accounts for about 20% of the total proportion.

4. Clay, clay is mainly composed of granular clay minerals. The function of clay is to increase the plasticity and plasticity of the porcelain body, and enhance the toughness and impact resistance of the product. The proportion of clay generally accounts for about 10% of the total proportion.

5. Auxiliary raw materials, in addition to the above main raw materials, the production of ceramic toilets also need to add some auxiliary raw materials, such as flux, plasticizer and pigment. Fluxes are mainly compounds such as sodium and potassium, which are used to reduce the sintering temperature of the porcelain body and promote the densification of the porcelain body. Plasticizers are mainly organic substances, such as glycerin, alcohol, etc., which are used to adjust the plasticity and plasticity of porcelain bodies and improve the processing performance of products. Pigments are used to add color to the surface coating of the toilet to make it more beautiful and meet the needs of different toilet wholesaler customers.

Proportion

In the batching process, the raw materials such as clay, quartz sand, feldspar and clay need to be mixed uniformly according to a certain proportion. Generally speaking, the proportion of clay is the highest, accounting for more than 50% of the total proportion, the proportion of quartz sand and feldspar each accounts for about 20% of the total proportion, and the proportion of clay accounts for about 10% of the total proportion. The specific ratio can be adjusted according to the requirements of the product and the production process of the toilet manufacturing factory.

The mixed raw materials will be further processed by grinding and sieving to ensure uniform and fine particles. After that, the raw material will be fed into the mold for molding. Common molding methods include extrusion molding and injection molding. After forming, the porcelain body is dried, furnaced, sintered and other processes, and finally becomes a finished ceramic toilet.

In short, the raw materials and their proportions used in the production of ceramic toilets are the key factors for toilet manufacturers to ensure product quality. Different raw materials play different roles in the ratio. Toilet manufacturers can produce high-quality ceramic toilets through scientific and reasonable ratios and fine processing techniques to bring users a better experience.
