Porcelain vs. ceramic slabs: what's the difference?
Let's begin with a brief summary.
Why do you say so? The porcelain slab is called SINTERED STONE in English, and the Chinese literal translation is "sintered stone."
Because porcelain slabs are made of natural raw elements like quartz, feldspar, and oxides that create color through a unique process, they are crushed by tens of thousands of tons of presses, combined with NDD inkjet technology, and sintered at above 1200°C.
Board made of ceramic
In English, it's known as CERAMIC BOARD, while in Chinese, it's known as "ceramic board."
Is a range of inorganic non-metallic materials such as clay, ore, and other production methods created of plate ceramic goods with an area of more than 1.62 square meters formed and then calcined at high temperatures below 1200 °C.
So many literary and clear descriptions have been made, now it's time to point out the differences.
To begin with, porcelain slabs are typically larger in size than ceramic slabs.
Typical porcelain plate sizes are 1000 * 3000mm, 1600 * 3200mm, 1500 * 3000mm, and so on, with thicknesses ranging from 3/6 to 12mm; ceramic plate sizes are 900 * 1800mm, 1200 * 2400mm, and so on.
Second, the rate of water absorption
Porcelain boards have a lower water absorption rate than ceramic boards.
The porcelain board absorbs only 0.02 percent of the water, whereas the ceramic board absorbs about 0.5 percent. Porcelain board has a higher density and is impervious to water.
Third, high-temperature calcination at more above 1200 °C
The porcelain board achieves Class A fire resistance after being processed at a very high temperature and does not undergo physical changes or produce odor fumes when exposed to fire, making it a novel product that may be used for cooking or grilling.
This is precisely what the ceramic slab failed to do.
Four real through-body porcelain slabs are formed utilizing through-body technology, which is tougher than most ceramic tiles and makes the slabs seamless. The surface treatment of porcelain slabs necessitates exceedingly fine and complex processing techniques, particularly for preserving stone transparency and surface texture feel. In order for the texture to play a progressive and layered transition, the surface process of porcelain slabs generally necessitates numerous fine high-definition inkjet processing.
