Ceramics and Materials

The analysis of substrate ceramics is a crucial aspect of materials science, particularly in fields such as electronics, aerospace, and biomedical engineering. Substrate ceramics serve as foundational materials for various applications, often acting as a base layer for electronic components, insulating materials, and structural supports in high-temperature environments. The quality and characteristics of these ceramics directly influence the performance, durability, and efficiency of the devices they underpin.

Tile design with ceramic offers a unique blend of aesthetic appeal and functional versatility, making it a popular choice for various applications in both residential and commercial spaces. The versatility of ceramic tiles allows for an almost limitless array of designs, from bold colors and intricate patterns to subtle textures and earthy tones. This variety enables designers and homeowners to create personalized spaces that reflect individual tastes and styles. The durability of ceramic tiles further enhances their appeal, as they resist wear and tear from high foot traffic, moisture, and staining, making them ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, and entryways.

Gluto has a fully functional laboratory which can test and simulate the customer’s line applications to achieve a good result, comparable to the customer’s conditions. Raw materials and frits are all tested and verified before being used in production to ensure stability in the tile making process. Gluto utilises the service offered from the laboratory at Gluto Lab., in the event that more stringent tests need to be performed on materials.

The factory consists of a medium blender, stain and print powder mixers, digital ink cold storage rooms and the auto-batching plant. It has an effective dust extraction system ensuring that dust levels are minimal and well controlled.

Gluto has a Durst plotter to print test tiles which in turn can be fired at the customer. This facility can also assist the customer with their colour choice without disrupting the production lines. The Durst plotter can also apply certain digital effects eg. lustre, glossy, reactive.

This is a technologically advanced plant which guarantees accuracy and efficiency.

Its unique design gives the production team the flexibility to produce many different glazes in a day. This facility is able to track all data coming from the plant which is constantly monitored, ensuring that the customer will always receive a well manufactured and consistent finished product.
