SANITARY WARE
In the sanitary ware industry one of the main applications of additives is the rheological adjustment of ceramic bodies and glazes. The use of pressure casting equipment and robots requires constant slurry parameters that vary as little as possible to be able to obtain reproducible production results.
Raw material preparation
- Dispersants : When producing ceramics, energy costs have a considerable share in the overall expenses of the final product.
- Filtration agents : The efficiency of the pressure casting process, as well as the cost effectiveness of conventional slip casting, are dependent on the output per unit time, which in turn depends on the casting rate.
- Biocides : Biocides are required for the application of organic additives and/or raw materials to counteract their deterioration caused by micro organisms such as bacteria, yeasts or fungi, and consequently to guarantee long term stability.
- Temporary binders : An increasing use of robots and the production of complicated geometries have lead to a growing demand for improved component strength.
Glaze additives
- Dispersants : Dispersants are used in glazes and engobes to specifically influence the rheological properties and solids content of the slip.
- Antifoam agents : During the preparation of slips foam can form through surface active substances and also through the mechanical energy input.
- Biocides : Biocides are required for the application of organic additives and/or raw materials to counteract their deterioration caused by micro organisms such as bacteria, yeasts or fungi, and consequently to guarantee long term stability.
- Rheological additives : Rheological additives have an important function: They create the prerequisites for a defined reproducible adjustment of glaze rheology, and they guarantee constant results with applications by hand and spray robot on vertical surfaces.
- Suspension aids : Specific suspension aids are used to prevent sedimentation of glazes.
- Temporary binders : Temporary binders bring about an increase in mechanical resistance at the surface of glazes and engobes hence leading to an improved touch-resistant finish.
Auxiliaries for mould production
- Cleaning agents : Specific cleaning agents prevent early aging of the resin pressure casting moulds.
- Plaster additives : On account of their surface activity, plaster additives act as deflocculants, which means: the solids content in the plaster slurry can be increased whilst maintaining the same processing consistency.
- Release agents : Release agents bring about good separation of the plaster negative cast from the master mould form.
TABLE WARE
Additives play an important role during the production of high-quality tableware. Essential goals are energy savings in the spray dryer, optimisation of the pressing granules and the faultless glaze application.
optimisation of the pressing granules and the faultless glaze application.
- Dispersants for spray bodies : During the manufacture of ceramic products, energy costs have a considerable share in the overall expenses of the final product.
- Dispersants for casting bodies : Deflocculants used for the casting of ceramic bodies can help to save water and energy resources, and to augment the production output in a similar way as do those deflocculants applied for the spray process.

- Temporary binders for casting bodies : In the tableware sector, temporary binders are used in pressing, casting and plastic bodies to increase the green and dry breaking strength and, hence, to minimise waste and scrap.
- Temporary binders for spray bodies : Temporary binders are used for spray bodies to improve the green and dry breaking strength.

REFRACTORIES
An elaborated product portfolio of additives, which have been specially designed for each individual process, is available for the manifold application spectrum in the refractory industry.
Refractory components
- Setting accelerators : Short setting times are required for the time-optimised manufacture of cement bonded components.
- Chemical binders : Chemical binders are applied in refractory bodies to reduce or even replace hydraulic binding agents.
- Dispersants : Thixotropic vibration bodies or self-flowing castables are often used in refractory applications.
- Wetting agents : Wetting agents permit the introduction and dispersion of hydrophobic raw materials in refractory bodies (e.g. soot and graphite).
- Porosity inducing agents : The use of splinter porosity inducing agents serves to adjust the pore size, pore volume and pore distribution in a targeted manner.
- Release agents : Release agents are used during the manufacture of refractory components and bricks to achieve easy separation of the mould pieces from the moulds made of steel, resin and wood.
Mastics
- Setting accelerators : Short setting times are often required during the use of cement bonded mastics.
- Chemical binders : Chemical binders are applied in refractory bodies to reduce or even replace hydraulic binding agents.
- Biocides : Biocides are required for the application of organic additives and/or raw materials to counteract their deterioration caused by micro organisms such as bacteria, yeasts or fungi, and consequently to guarantee long term stability.
- Wetting agents : Wetting agents permit the introduction and dispersion of hydrophobic raw materials in refractory bodies (e.g. soot and graphite).
- Plasticizers : On account of their swelling capacity, plasticizers increase the plasticity of non-plastic raw materials, which makes it possible to avoid the addition of clay as a plasticizer.
- Temporary binders : Temporary binders bring about an increase in green and dry breaking strength through the formation of adhesive forces.
- Water glass hardeners : In ceramic mastics containing water glass the use of a hardener for water glass, which hydrolyses in the alkaline environment, allows the controlled precipitation of silicic acid leading to a defined hardening of the body.
Gunning mixes
- Setting accelerators : Short setting times are required to keep lining and repair times of aggregates as short as possible.
- Chemical binders : Chemical binders are applied in refractory bodies to reduce or even replace hydraulic binding agents.

- Dust binding agents : In order to reduce dust formation when dealing with dry delivered gunning mixes, a dust binder is already incorporated into the body during the mixing process.
Ramming mixes

ABRASIVE TOOLS
The target adjustment of porosity, as well as high strengths and good pressing properties in the green state are the fundamental requirements of additives, which are applied for the production of abrasive tools.
Raw material preparation
- Dispersants : Dispersants permit to reduce the water content in ceramic dispersions.
- Porosity inducing agents : Porosity inducing agents serve for the specific adjustment of pore size, pore volume and pore distribution.
- Pressing agents and lubricants : Pressing agents and lubricants promote a homogeneous compaction during pressing and, hence, bring about a reduction of the internal stresses that could lead to defects – especially cracks in the abrasive tool – during the technological steps that follow.
- Temporary binders : After the shaping process, it is necessary for the abrasive tool to have sufficient strength to withstand further handling during subsequent processing.
