[#Podcast ep. #56] #Temporary #binders: #functions and #actions In the world of ceramics, temporary binders play a crucial role in improving the cohesion and workability of slips. These substances, often polymer-based, act on a chemical level by creating bonds between particles, increasing the mechanical strength of the mixture. In this episode, we explore what they are, how they work, and why they are essential in modern ceramic processes. ––––––––– #Podcast #CeramicProduction #Chemistry #ZSCeramco ––––––––– Follow the podcast "Apparently Invisible.

[#Podcast ep. #58] #Chemicals for #ceramic #glazes: the #grinding #phase In this episode, we dive into the essential role of chemical additives used during the grinding phase of ceramic glazes—a crucial step that sets the stage for successful application on the glazing line. We focus on dispersants and binders, compounds that give the glaze the right balance of cohesion, stability, and flow. But there’s no one-size-fits-all solution here: the type of additive must be tailored to the specific application method, whether it's airless spraying, bell, or curtain coating. A technical yet accessible look at how chemistry drives performance—right from the start. ––––––––– #Podcast #CeramicProduction #Chemistry #ZSCeramco ––––––––– Follow the podcast "Apparently Invisible.

[#Podcast ep. #41A] #Chemicals & #seasonality: #problems and #suggestions In ceramics, the use of chemicals plays a very important (or even fundamental) role in providing the final product with high technical and aesthetic results and in promoting a proper application process. However, their actions can be sometimes less effective or compromised. There are several reasons for this performance change and seasonality is surely one of the most interesting. Through a series of examples, the episode addresses the actions that should be taken to prevent the temperature to negatively affecting both processes and products. ––––––––– Follow the podcast on the new "Z&S Ceramco" app available on #Appstore and #GooglePlay or on #podcast #platforms #Podcast #CrateringPhenomena #CeramicDefects #CeramicProduction #SurfaceDefects #GlazingLine #CeramicManufacturing #CeramicIndustry #QualityControl #CeramicScience #RawMaterials #CeramicSolutions #MaterialsScience #ZSCeramics #ZschimmerSchwarzCeramco #AppStore #GooglePlay #PodcastPlatforms

[#Podcast ep. #55] #Behind the #scenes of #innovation: exploring the challenges and methodology behind the development of #chemical #auxiliaries This episode takes inspiration from the thesis work of the Head of Research at Zschimmer & Schwarz Ceramco. The goal is not to focus on the specific topic explored in that study (in this case, the well-known issue of the "black core"), but rather to highlight the research methodology and the meticulous, in-depth work that takes place every day in the laboratories of chemical companies serving the ceramic manufacturing industry. Although it begins in an academic context, the process described closely mirrors the structured, methodical approach followed by laboratory professionals in real-world industrial settings. ––––––––– #Podcast #CeramicProduction #Chemistry #ZSCeramco ––––––––– Follow the podcast "Apparently Invisible.
