Exquisite ceramics are pleasing to the eye. Ceramic products are also standing in people's life, adding color to daily life. Pottery is made of clay with high viscosity and strong plasticity. It is opaque, has fine pores and weak water absorption, and the sound of hitting is turbid. Porcelain is made of clay, feldspar and quartz. It is translucent, non absorbent, corrosion-resistant, hard and tight, and crisp. So what role does industrial grade sodium tripolyphosphate play in the production process of ceramics, from the initial old clay to exquisite ceramic technology?

What role does sodium tripolyphosphate play in ceramic production?

1. Sodium tripolyphosphate can be widely used in mud making, slurry grinding and process (including barren raw materials).

2, sodium tripolyphosphate can make mud good fluidity and low viscosity to meet the requirements of spray or mold filling and leveling.

3. Sodium tripolyphosphate can reduce the water content of slurry, prevent shrinkage and deformation cracking during green body drying, and reduce the damage rate of green body.

4. Sodium tripolyphosphate can make the mud stable and of good quality.

5. Sodium tripolyphosphate can lubricate and aid grinding between slurry particles, shorten ball milling time, improve work efficiency and save energy consumption.

6. Sodium tripolyphosphate has the advantages of convenient feeding and accurate measurement, which can reduce labor intensity and greatly reduce production cost.

Therefore, sodium tripolyphosphate is also called water reducing agent, degumming agent and coagulant in ceramic production. Its function is mainly to improve the fluidity of ceramic blank and glaze slurry, so as to minimize the water content of slurry, improve the fluidity, do not flocculate and precipitate, and facilitate operation.
