Title Of Article :
Production of Sealing Material By Sol-Gel Method To Enhance Stain Resistance and Cleanability of Polished Porcelain Stoneware Tiles Part II: Investigation of The Performance Depend on Process Parameters
Abstract :
In this study, the effects of process parameters of the polishing step on the performance of the newly developed sol-gel coating as a sealing material were investigated. Process parameters such as temperature of the tile during polishing, amount of the protective material on the tile, distance between brush and tile, force of the brushes during polishing, were examined. Effect of these parameters and performance of the newly developed hybrid sol-gel coating were investigated considering stain resistance of the polished porcelain tiles. The stain resistance and the cleanability of the tile surface were measured by following the ISO-10545-14 standard and results were compared with standard protective material.
