Interior Wall Tile Matte Glaze is engineered exclusively for vertical surfaces, featuring modified flux agents (5% lithium spodumene + 3% barium carbonate) to prevent sagging and dripping during firing. | |||||||||
Its low-sheen formula adheres seamlessly to ceramic and porcelain wall tiles, with a VOC emission rate below 100ppm—meeting E1 Class and U.S. GREENGUARD indoor air quality standards. The glaze’s thixotropic properties (viscosity increases at rest) ensure it stays in place on vertical substrates, eliminating the need for frequent touch-ups during production.
Wall-Specific Formula: Modified Na₂O-CaO flux system adjusts melt viscosity to 10,000-15,000 cP at firing temperature, preventing drips on 30cm x 60cm or larger wall tiles
Space Enhancement: Reflects only 20-30% of light (vs. 60-70% for glossy glazes), creating a soft ambient glow that visually expands small rooms (e.g., 8㎡ bathrooms) by 15-20%
Stain Resistance: Resists moisture absorption (<0.2%) in high-humidity areas (bathrooms, kitchens), preventing mold growth and water stains on tile joints
Eco-Friendly: Lead-free (<0.01mg/L) and cadmium-free (<0.005mg/L) composition complies with GB25464-2010 (Chinese ceramic tile safety standard) and EU 10/2011 (food contact materials regulation)
Designed for residential living rooms, bedrooms, and commercial lobbies (hotels, offices). Compatible with drywall-backed (residential) and cement-board-mounted (commercial) tiles. Recommended for areas with moderate foot traffic and indirect moisture exposure (avoid direct water spray, e.g., shower walls without a glass partition). After application, cure tiles at room temperature (20-25°C) for 24 hours before grouting to ensure glaze adhesion. For renovation projects, it can be applied over existing unglazed wall tiles (sand tiles first to roughen surface for better bonding).
Q: How to repair chipped glaze on wall tiles?
A: Clean the chipped area with alcohol to remove dust; apply a thin layer (0.2-0.3mm) of matching glaze using a small brush. Refire at 1000-1060°C (biscuit fire temperature) for 8 minutes—this low-temperature bake avoids damaging the tile body or adjacent glaze.
Q: Does it require a primer on porous tiles?
A: Yes, use a dilute alumina primer (1:3 primer-to-water ratio) on porous substrates (e.g., unglazed earthenware tiles). The primer seals pores, preventing glaze absorption and ensuring uniform color and finish. Allow primer to dry for 12 hours before glazing.
Q: What’s the shelf life of unused glaze?
A: 12 months when stored in airtight plastic containers at 15-25°C (avoid direct sunlight). If settling occurs (common after 6+ months), add 2% bentonite (thickening agent) and stir at 500 RPM for 10 minutes to restore original consistency—do not add water, as it dilutes key components.
