Ceramic
What is Ceramic?
Ceramics usually consists of mixing special clay with water, then shaping and molding, and finally placing it in the oven and baking at high temperatures. After removing it from the oven and cooling, it can be painted, waterproofed, or glazed.
Stages Of Ceramic Production
Separate the clay and return it to the mixer, then it becomes thick clay and is molded and then dried and put in the oven.
Ceramic Properties
It is easy to clean
Water pressure resistant
Tolerant of high and low temperatures
It is resistant to chemical reaction
It does not deliver electricity
Use Of Ceramics
For roof coating of houses and buildings
To make dishes, glasses and pots
Used in hygiene, toilet and bathroom items
To cover electronic piece of devices
Why are sanitary ware items made of ceramic?
Ceramics are used to cover sanitary items because it is a strong, clean material that does not absorb water, is easy to clean after use, and costs little to manufacture.
Thomas Crapper
Thomas Crapper was a plumbing and drainage engineer in London, famous in the 1860s for inventing toilet flushes and creating special drains for toilets and bathrooms that helped greatly avoid wasting water.
Thomas’ invention further developed the ceramic toilet and led to many other inventions in ceramic bathrooms and toilets.
Laufen innovation in ceramics
SaphirKeramik
In 2013, the Swiss company Laufen invented a new ceramic invention, called Safir Ceramics, known as the world’s thinnest ceramic, discovered after nearly half a century of research under the supervision of Dr. Werner Fischer.
Known as the Ceramic Revolution, the product is made by combining a substance called aluminum oxide with ceramic, a colorless and strong substance of the sapphire family, which gives the ambassador ceramic great strength, making designers free to Any kind of design they want.
SaphirKeramik Specification
- SaphirKeramik is considered environmentally friendly because fewer raw materials are used, thereby creating less waste compared to the energy used to roast ceramics.
- This new material can be recycled
- It is able to withstand very high temperatures
- It has the ability to absorb chemicals
- With many other characteristics that make SaphirKeramik an economical material, Laufen is making further efforts to further develop this ceramic.
