Ceramic tile industry trends in 2013

Tiles as home decoration products, a variety of styles, rich colors, different materials in the consumer's attention. With the improvement of people's living standards, a small tile requirements are also increasing. The tile is no longer adhere to the traditional ground lay onto the wall for the kitchen, bathroom and even decorative walls and entrance.Manufactured Stone VeneerColored stripes tileTile color range, whether the entire wall monochrome tiling collage of multi-colored tiles, paving the way can receive an unexpected decorative effect. For example, colored stripes colorful tiles can reflect the super three-dimensional.
Glazed tilesGlazed tiles are the the decoration most common brick kinds of colors, rich patterns, and the anti-fouling ability, it is widely used in wall and floor decoration. Enduring all these years, I believe a short period of time, also been leading the trend.It consists of glazed tiles depending on the shiny and matte glazed tiles;, depending on the raw material is divided into ceramic glazed tiles and ceramic glazed tiles. Ceramic glazed tiles baked clay, high water absorption, the general strength is relatively low, the main feature is the back in red. Ceramic glazed tiles from clay baked, low water absorption, the general strength is relatively high, the main feature is the back gray.MosaicsMosaic is also active in recent years in the home renovation "the backbone." It generally consists of dozens of small brick a brick, and it has acid and alkali, non-porous, easily broken, a combination of strong color changing, etc.. Although the volume of the mosaic is the smallest in the various tiles, but it has amazing features. Designers can by other means or a combination of splicing, it presents a variety of changes. In a plane, for example, can exhibit abstract pattern, setting a pattern, jump or shades of the same color transition patterns dotted other decorative materials.The streamer jade color tilesThe high-end tile decorated in high places "outstanding". Streamer jade color tile is such a product. It uses a high-tech digital fabric technology, combined with the complex process, both natural and Shi Yun, while using glass underglaze color process, showing a sense of luxury to the crystal light, gorgeous and noble effect, shoulder to shoulder jade tiles. Marble tile is also used in recent years to more of a class of tile, texture, color, texture, feel, and visual effects fully meet the realistic effects of natural marble, decorative effect have to be better than natural stone.Anion impression brickA brand launched the the negative ions impression Brick, an increase in the glaze layer and the green layer on the basis of a layer composed of ultra-fine powders and composite rare earth elements by the unipolar mineral tourmaline anion layer, 1 square meter impression brick release anion equivalent to the emission of 15 square meters of forest.Manufactured Stone VeneerMix and match tilesAt present, mix and match style "widely used by industry designers, tile, of course, is no exception. Ceramic, natural stone transboundary being staged, imitation wood, imitation metal "imitation", or integrated into the popular elements of clothing, can be seen as. If you do not want to be too heterogeneous, can be considered quaint and elegant mix and match, or classical and modern mix and match.

New paint dotted green home

The introduction of the five countries, detonated a hand housing market, but also led associated with the home improvement market. Paint as essential in the home decoration materials, Manufactured Stone Veneer natural has also been a lot of attention. Recently, this reporter visited some of the building materials market in Beijing, many paint companies are to emerge.
These coatings new where it? Beijing the Beiyuan Yikelong building materials market, a paint pavement Mr. Li told reporters that the traditional paint products and decorative single, often only play a coloring or protective surface effect . The new paint is in response to consumer needs, with insulation, waterproofing, crack, fire, high temperature and other functions, whether it is functional or decorative superior than the traditional paint.A insulation coating reporters see in the market, the product promotional materials, as long as the building surface coated with a thin can be a cooling insulation, the purpose of self-cleaning dust, allegedly for upcoming summer, the cooling effect is very obvious, you can reduce the indoor temperature 3 ° C above.Other hand, with the improvement of people's aesthetic and quality of life, environmental protection of the paint is also sought after by consumers. Wedding room decoration Beijing is preparing to consumers Li Jianhui said that the house is so expensive to buy, naturally do not want to renovation links drag the hind legs, particularly in relation to the health of their families paint, have to buy the healthy green to create a safe, good for the family healthy living space.In order to meet this demand of consumers, the market, the odor, the whole effect, anti-formaldehyde vocabulary is very popular, most of the launch of the brand new products are designed around environmental health, such as antibacterial ions in the wall paint, wood natural vegetable oil paint to play an anti-bacterial, environmental protection, anti-mildew effect. With charcoal, no added "new concept" continue to join, the variety of products in the coatings market has become more abundant.Beijing Jiuxianqiao paint and coatings for decorative building materials market, the reporters saw, paint brand name of "green carbon" under the banner of the sudden increase in the number, including zero formaldehyde biological genes coatings, odor paints, zero VOC and other green concept after another. And many stores door is directly linked to the slogan of the star products, recipes new upgrade, the paint store displays charcoal effect children paint, Gold without adding paint and new products.In addition, the gradual rise in recent years, water-based paint, water as diluent, environmental performance more excellent, and favored by consumers. According to reports, the traditional oil paint to add curing agents, diluents and other substances, and organic solvent as a diluent, contains a lot of harmful volatile organic compounds, has a great impact on the atmospheric environment and human health. The water-based paint in construction, just add plain tap water will be able to tune that is used, with a non-toxic and environmentally friendly, odorless, volatile matter very little, and flammable non-explosive, high security features.However, compared to conventional coatings, the new coating requires consumers to pay a high price. The reporter in an interview that marked signs of "green carbon" coating products often will also increased a lot, such as a bucket of 5 liters of wall paint, priced at about 100 yuan, while the marked "low carbon" word often turn twice, more than even five or six hundred dollars.According to a paint store sales personnel, the current market "low-carbon" paint Hot, higher profit margins, attracted some unscrupulous traders to fish in troubled waters, the many banner of "green" products under the guise of fact, is not really green. He reminded consumers,Manufactured Stone Veneer the products meet the national standard "is not the same as" green products ". In simple terms, the "green standard" more stringent than the national standards usually achieve "national standard" products, only 10 to 30% is possible to obtain environmental certification mark, that is, to achieve "green". The real green products, should have the Certification and Accreditation Administration Committee through the parameters of scientific tests confirmed that awarded the environmental label - "10 ring icon, which is the layman to identify the authenticity of" green products "the most simple and effective method.

An unbreakable glassA British aircraft manufacturing company invented a method for aircraft unbreakable glass, it is a folder with debris glued into a transparent plastic film layers of glass. The polyurethane-based plastic film viscous semi-liquid consistency, when someone tries to break it, hit polyurethane film will slowly gather together and restore their own unique integrity. This glass can be used in cars, to prevent car theft.

Ten new glass unique performance analysis2 nails glassMitsubishi Electronic Instrumentation Laboratory successful development of this glass, borate glass powder and carbon fiber mixed, heated to 1000 degrees Celsius made. It is the use of cemented carbide strengthening glass, maximum breaking stress of more than 2 times that of general glass, of no brittle vulnerability staple and mounted wood screws, do not have to worry about broken.3 non-reflective glassDeveloped by the German SCHOTT glass non-reflective glass, light reflection is only less than 1% (8%) ordinary glass, so as to solve the reflective glass and dizzying headache.4 anti-theft glassA Hungarian Institute developed a multilayer structure of such glass, fitted with extra-fine metal wires each layer of the intermediate case thieves crushed glass, with the metal wire is connected to the alarm system will immediately send an alarm signal.5 soundproof glassA Japanese company imported technology from Germany, to create a new type of soundproof glass. This glass is a soft resin with a thickness of 5 mm of the two layers of glass laminated together, will almost portion noise absorbing exhausted, particularly to Good studio and studio use. Its price is equivalent to five times that of ordinary glass.6 air-conditioned glassThis is a double glass processing manufacturing, Heating can be sent to the glass sandwich, distributed through vents into the room, instead of the radiator. This not only saves energy, but also convenient, noise and dust, can also be changed to send the air conditioning in the summer.(7) vacuum glassDevelopment of such a vacuum glass capsule plate glass, has a 0.2-mm interval of 1/100 atm vacuum layer between two sheets of a thickness of 3 mm glass, the inner layer there is a small metal cylinder support to prevent the external atmospheric pressure so that the two pieces of glass paste together. This vacuum glass thickness of only 6.2 mm, can be mounted directly on the window frame. It has good heat insulation effect, applicable to the windows of homes and high-rise buildings.8 smart glassThis glass transparency developed by the United States can change as the viewing angle changes, it has a special polymer film, astigmatism, thickness, area, and forms can be freedom of choice by the manufacturer, which allows you to play a protective and the shielding effect.9 holographic glassBoston research team developed a holographic diffraction glass, Cultured Stone Veneer certain colors of light can be concentrated to the selected orientation. Glass windows with natural light can be broken down into spectral combination of color and light shooting at the ceiling and then reflected to every corner of the room, even a room without windows, but also through the ventilation pipe from the reflective wall "" Sunshine, and then perforations diffuses light to the ceiling.
10 thermostat glassBritish company successfully developed is called cloud plastic the thermochromic thermostat glass, it is a both sides of the plastic film and sandwiched between the polymer color solvent synthetic glass. It was transparent in the cold environment, absorb the sun's heat, until the ambient temperature rises and becomes opaque white clouds color, and block the sun's heat, in order to effectively play the role of regulating the indoor temperature.

exterior paint durability Construction relations

exterior paint durability Construction relations

1 exterior paint durability1.1 weatherability and color retentionDecorative function is one of the important features of the exterior paint. Cultured Stone Veneer Exterior paint is long-term exposure to the outdoors, by the wind, rain and sun, after a period of time, the appearance of finishes chalking, discoloration, discoloration, loss of light and other phenomena. The weathering of high-performance exterior paint color retention requirements generally 8 ~ 10a, the equivalent of a national standard artificial accelerated aging 1000h, and its color is not greater than 2. Coating chalking, fading and discoloration and coating binders and pigments are closely linked.(A) Binders and weatherability and color retentionThe base material plays a decisive role in the performance of the paint. External finishes by ultraviolet light, the sun and the rain will progressively deterioration, which ultraviolet impact. It enables the base polymer chemical reaction and deterioration. If the emulsion polymer containing a polyethylene, polyacrylate, polymethacrylate, polystyrene, polyvinyl chloride, poly (vinyl acetate) and poly-butadiene, etc., by ultraviolet radiation, it is prone to the main chain scission, intermolecular cross linking or degradation reactions.So that the binder polymer for crosslinking or degradation will cause changes in coating properties: intermolecular crosslinking makes extended reduced, while the main chain will reduce the strength of the coating, eventually leading to the yellowing of the exterior paint or powder technology. Note that the base material in the preparation of high performance exterior paint should preferably therefore, select the excellent weathering resistance of the emulsion as a binder. Silicone modified acrylic emulsion and water emulsion polyurethane is the fastest growing and the most the coating binders variety of development prospects. Higher chemical bonds between the polymer molecules of these binders and special molecular structure determines they have excellent anti-aging properties, its artificial accelerated aging more than 1500h, some even up to 3000h, fully able to meet the high-performance exterior paint on Binders weatherability requirements. Of course, the emulsion weather resistance not only concerned with the varieties And it is also the size of the emulsion particles in the emulsion and emulsifying system closely related. Emulsion finer particles, the coating film formed by the more perfect, the more excellent weather resistance corresponding. Furthermore, still in the emulsion by adding a certain amount of an ultraviolet absorber, can reduce the UV damage of the coating film.(2) pigments and weathering protection colorPaint coating by the base material polymer and the Yen (fill) material. Therefore, the types and ratio of the two kinds of main component determines the structure and physical properties of the coating film. In the coating formulation, when the pigment volume concentration (PVC) is below the critical PVC, pigment particles dispersed in the base polymer continuous phase to form the "sea - island" structure; but if the PVC exceeds the critical PVC base polymers the gaps between the pigment particles can not be completely filled with loose accumulation of pigment particles, voids therebetween, the coating scrub resistance, contamination resistance, weatherability, a sharp decline. Similar emulsion varieties, PVC is lower, the higher the gloss, weathering resistance, color retention worse. So, in the preparation of high performance exterior paint should strictly control PVC less than the critical PVC as far as possible, to ensure the integrity of the coating.The primary role of the pigment is to make the coating film has a certain degree of opacity and show different colors, so to make the coating film has excellent weather resistance, a pigment on the need to have good hiding power and coloring power, the higher the degree of dispersion, sharp The color and light stability. The white pigment excellent weather resistance, not only their own color consistent, and can absorb large amounts of ultraviolet light, to mitigate the damaging effects of ultraviolet radiation on the base material or other color pigments that improve weatherability of the coating color retention. White pigment, the most widely used, and the best of rutile titanium dioxide. Color pigments, inorganic and organic pigments are used, but the coating film weathering performance considerations, the general use of inorganic pigment is more suitable. The light resistance and weather resistance of the inorganic pigments are generally superior to organic pigments, present in the exterior latex paint, the main use of the excellent weathering resistance of the iron-based pigment.In addition, in the high-performance coated should avoid using easy powder filler, and filler has better weather and pH stability. Better application precipitated barium sulfate, quartz powder, mica and wollastonite powder.2.2 stain resistanceChina's industrial smoke, excessive dust and vehicle exhaust emissions, high dust content in the air, and less per capita green area. Therefore, high stain resistance exterior paint adapt to this special state of the environment is extremely important practical significance.High stain resistance performance of the exterior paint is very important. Exterior paint slowly, an important reason for this is the stain resistance of the coating is not ideal, the decorative effect is short-lived. Therefore, the need to address an important issue for the high-performance exterior paint is to try to improve the coating anti-stain resistance coating of contaminated medium resilience. Coating anti-contamination and poor performance of the main reasons are: ① the coating preparation process generally required the use of emulsifiers and a variety of additives, with the passage of time, in the coating of these low molecular weight substances to be volatilized, so that the coating left in a large number of pores. The microstructure, compared with solvent-based paints, latex paints and coatings containing a large number of micropores, and the surface is relatively rough, exhibit uneven. Atmospheric dust is easily deposited under the effect of gravity which, to different degrees of covering of the coating color. When it rains, the dust along with the rain capillary action penetrated coating, evaporation of water, dust particles continue to be retained in the pores, "fatal" impact this will have on the decorative effect of the coating.Therefore, increasing the density of the coating, hard is an important way to address contamination issues. I have developed a sol-acrylate emulsion organic-inorganic composite coatings, anti-stain determination, its reflectance decreased only about 5%, mainly due to the sol colloidal particles are relatively subtle, the particle size is generally 5 ~ 40nm, the structure after the film formation is very compact and hard, the gap is minimal, dust particles easily penetrated therebetween. Add nanoscale SiO paint can improve the hardness of the coating to dramatically improve the ability of anti-staining. ② binder, the organic polymer chain structure determines the polymer emulsion coating prone to the accumulation of static electricity, thereby generating the electrostatic adsorption, dust particles are easily adsorbed at the surface of the coating, the decorative effect of the coating, the emulsion polymer chain covalent bond (e.g. Si-O) of the introduction of some of the ionic inorganic conductive properties, can be improved to avoid electrostatic adsorption pollution of the coating. ③ Since the coating high temperature return YS, easy, dust, resulting decorative effect decreased, generally high hardness coating stain resistance, which requires a high glass transition temperature (Tg) of the emulsion, but the coating film at the same time constructability disadvantage. Cultured Stone VeneerStrictly speaking, the paint just a semi-final purpose coating on the surfaces of buildings, buildings from the decorative and protective role. Therefore, the dry film coating after construction is finished. Coating durability play supporting construction technology have a close relationship, in order to obtain a satisfactory long-term effects of finishing, it is necessary to strictly control the construction engineering quality of the paint.Usually due mainly out powder coating defects caused by improper construction methods of exterior paint, peeling, efflorescence, shedding. In order to avoid the emergence of these quality defects, should be strictly in accordance with the the coating construction engineering specifications for construction. For cement grassroots should pay special attention to control moisture and alkalinity. Accordance with the regulations applying emulsion paint, the moisture content shall not be greater than 10%; concrete base material curing period should be more than 28d, cement mortar plastering should be more than 14d, grassroots pH control in less than l0; surface should be cleared before construction dust, oil, etc., to maintain the cleanliness of the surface of the grass-roots level; sealing primer before coating porous substrates should be brushing a layer of latex or solution type, to avoid the suction of the substrate on the coating uneven, causing flooding.

 artificial cultured stone veneer silicone rubber mold making methods and features!

    artificial cultured stone veneer the reason why more people are concerned about more natural culture stone, one of the reasons is because the color of the artificial culture stone Manufactured Stone Veneer colorful, but if the mold is not handled properly, it will affect the colors of culture stone.
    Generally, artificial culture stone mold plastic and silicone rubber to make molds, plastic molds for the early years of use, it has a relatively low cost advantage of, but the plastic mold is generally not enough fine, the color is more difficult on the go, pigments absorb low , so often there will be "painted face". In addition, the plastic mold when the mold production due to the high temperature melt molding, high energy consumption will smell pollution of the environment so it could not pass the EPA the EIA this off.
    
artificial cultured stone veneer mold silicone varieties developed in accordance with the special requirements of the production of culture stone. High, medium and low-end of its sub-six varieties. Culture stone mold silicone rubber has the same general resin mold silicone heat because of the particularity of the cultural production of stone materials, requirements, resistance to expansion as well as different hardness, acid and resistance to tearing, so as to adapt to the culture The stone mold special requirements proposal must not be mixed.
    In recent years, artificial cultured stone factory to produce culture stone mold silicone rubber, molding simple high yield, and the Silastic culture stone mold texture and delicate pigment absorption rate is higher, so the general large-scale artificial culture stone manufacturers use silicone rubber mold .
    Mold Silicone operation:
    1, silica and a curing agent was stirred uniformly, the appearance of silicone molds is flowing liquid, the A component is a silica gel, the B component is a curing agent, for example: 100 g of silica gel was added 2 g of the curing agent (Note: silica gel with a curing agent must To stir, did not stir, the mold will affect the life of the silicone mold curing dry and uneven situation and the number of molds from even cause mold scrapped.
    2, vacuum row of bubbles processing: silicone curing agent after mixing evenly vacuum row of bubbles aspects vacuum of time should not be too long, not more than 10 minutes, or silicone cured to produce a cross-linking reaction, can not be brushing or perfusion, resulting in material waste.
    3, brushing procedure: row of bubbles silica: brushing or perfusion fell on the mother die (in the brush mode or perfusion former master mold release agent or release agent) the brush mode must be uniform, sticky layer of gauze or a glass fiber cloth after 30 minutes to increase the strength of the mold and the tension during the second priming and then paste a layer of gauze or a glass fiber cloth, and then subjected to silica gel brushing After this treatment out of the mold, having life and turning model number, long service life, cost savings, and improve efficiency.
    4, the general approach of the outer mold production of the mold is surrounded by a plastic sheet or plank enclosed, one is using the plaster mold box filled can is used, another outer mold resin brushing brushing one layer resin coating layer of glass fiber cloth and then brushing then paste repeated two or three can be completed outside the mold.
    5, the ratio of silica gel (silica gel, silicon) with a curing agent to reflect the situation: It is recommended that the amount of curing agent to be added is not more than 5%, the greater the proportion of curing agent to be added, the faster the curing time, the mold is more brittle, and short service life. The amount of added silicone oil molding better attention to the silicone oil should not be excessive (5% -10%), or affect the tensile and hardness of the silicone mold can also be based on product and process requirements.
Artificial cultured Manufactured Stone Veneer silicone mold features:
    1, good fluidity, good operating
    2, stretch, pull good tensile tear.
    3, moderate hardness, good mold release, no deformation.
    Its production of artificial culture stone:
    1, the original stone samples directly molds from the pouring, texture, color like heaven, uniform color, and the deployment of color based on the architectural design requirements.
    2, low water absorption (17,2%), can be directly used for the exterior walls.
    3 fold intensity up to 3,4 MPa, durable easy to damage, especially the surface strength of up to 12,8 Mpa, dense wear-resistant, not powder.
    4, the shrinkage rate is low (less than 0,5 mm / m) the cracking phenomenon does not appear.
    5, freeze-thaw resistance, -20 ℃ freezing and thawing 15 times up to 10,7 MPa compressive strength is still fully able to cope with the North and the South to a variety of complex outdoor environment.
    6 low bulk density, bulk density less than natural stone half greatly reduce wall load. 7, excluding radioactive substances, environmental radiation.
