Dry ceramic facade due to features such as high temperature stability, high strength and high corrosion resistance, lack of water absorption in many construction projects in the world as the main and unique facade by designers and architects in the initial stages of the implementation of the project’s dry facade are selected and placed in the list of critical and strategic components. In fact, this kind of ceramic is generally considered to be porcelain ceramics, which has high advantages over non-porcelain ceramic tiles.
The reason for this is the use of dry ceramic applied in two building shells and high safety and low cost of long-term for builders and operators towards the facade of stone and mantle systems, as well as its high execution speed of about one third of the time of other systems implementation can be mentioned.
- What is a dry facade ceramic?
In general, non-metallic mineral materials are called ceramic; in the sense that, in addition to being mineral, they do not have metal properties. Knowledge about ceramics is referred to the ceramic industry as ceramics and related industry.
There are two main branches in this industry: 1. Traditional ceramics and
2.advanced ceramics.
In fact, dry ceramic is the second category of advanced ceramics and is produced in most cases extruded.
Dry-ceramic is a group of new materials which, according to application, value added and complexity of technology, have different divisions. The most common category of dry ceramic is based on how they are produced, thickness, substructure systems and their implementation. This category includes: Dry-faced porcelain ceramic in caved form and porcelain ceramic in full fill form (full body). In fact, the main reason for these ceramics in the world has been lowering the cost of building materials and building maintenance costs in terms of energy consumption.
- Why dry ceramic is considered as advanced ceramic?
At present, the advanced or traditional of a material, rather than being related to itself, refers to the concepts and views on which the material is based, which means that the type of attitude to these materials determines it’s advanced or traditional character. Therefore, if with an advanced scientific perspective, the material that has been extinct years ago, the material will be in the field of advanced materials, and vice versa, if a very common, non-scientific and non-scientific application is contemplated even by a new material, we will deal with traditional materials.
One example can make the concept clearer. Gypsum and clay are very common materials and have been used for many years, but now, with new perspectives (such as nanotechnology), at the atomic scale and the unit cell, it is possible to make changes in these materials, so that have properties that they have not already had. In this case, although we are still dealing with gypsum and plaster, the field we are dealing with is advanced materials.
Therefore, in general, the knowledge component in the production of a product can be considered as a criterion for determining whether it is advanced or traditional, so that dry ceramic is due to its type of production, which is based on two extruding species and the use of advanced laminating machines. The ceramic is divided into 1 cm thick and is considered to be an advanced ceramic category.
