Li Jiatuo: What is the technical principle of antibacterial ceramic tiles
Li Jiadoo, a senior engineer at China Glaze Group and Dahong Glaze, analyzed that the antibacterial methods currently referred to are generally similar to sterilization in the medical field. There are many methods, such as high temperature, ultraviolet rays, chemical reagents (alcohol and other reagents) . Antibacterial ceramic tiles, which have become increasingly popular recently, are often discussed using the two concepts of antibacterial and antibacterial. Antibacterial generally means that the ceramic tile itself is not suitable for microorganisms to survive, but it can inhibit bacteria. The performance in this aspect is definitely much better than that of wooden materials. ; As for antibacterial, it mainly means that the ceramic tiles have the function of killing bacteria because of the addition of some special materials. Judging from the mainstream products in the market, most antibacterial ceramic tiles use two technical routes: heavy metal ion (such as silver-containing substances) sterilization and radiation sterilization. Of course, there are other methods that can be used.
