Ceramic Tile Surfaces in Acid Environment: Study of the Topographic, Microstructural and Mechanical Changes

by

Glazed ceramic tiles are characterised by a good chemical durability excepting in highly alkaline and acid environment. A continual use of cleaning agents with a basic or acid pH on ceramic flooring, could give rise to a lowering of mechanical performances due to the corrosion of crystalline phases more than the amorphous phase. In the … Weiterlesen …
