Moisture expansion is characterized by the increase of dimensions of ceramic bodies when they take contact with water - liquid or gas. The phenomenon may contribute to the development of pathologies in ceramic tiles, as glaze cracking and detachment from facades after their installation. Moisture expansion has been studied since the beginning of the last century and the performed studies …
Dry route process - employed by 70% of the Brazilian producers of ceramic tiles - presents several environmental advantages in comparison to wet route process, i.e. lower CO2 emissions, lower consumption of water and thermal energy, etc. Considering the particularities of the dry route process, it can be considered the main technological innovation in the Brazilian ceramic tiles sector. H…
Given the importance of porcelain stoneware tile within the productive chain of tiles, this work aims to cover the problem of susceptibility to staining of polished products, which is responsible for undermining one of the characteristics that most adds value to the product: the aesthetic effect. The porosity of closed porcelain stoneware tile is one of the greatest villains in regard to …

Knowing the growth of the Brazilian ceramic tile sector and their expression at the world scenery, the present paper works to contribute to the study of factoring viability of porcelain tiles by dry process. The technology of bodies preparation by "dry process" can be considered the biggest technologic innovation that occurred in the ceramic tiles sector in Brazil. Parallelly, at the last…
