Vinyl resin along with these additives is called vinyl compound in industry parlance. There are two methods of producing tiles from this compound: ·The compound is heated to a high temperature, and the liquid poured in molds ·The compound is fed through a series of rollers that gradually squeeze the material to just the gauge required for that batch. This technique is called "calenda...

When you are choosing decorative ceramic tile for your home, you need to understand the difference between them, as they each have quite different properties and uses.   How are ceramics made? Ceramics are derived from a mixture of natural substances, including clay and sand. Chemically, the compounds in these substances are complex silicates. It is the elements other than silicon and oxygen that determine the properties of the ceramics that are made from them. For example, the presence of iron in the silicate causes a red-orange color. When the silicates are subjected to very high temperatures ( 900 to 1400°C ), the water present in the original compounds is driven out, allowing chemical bonding between the layers of the silicate. This gives the ceramic structural strength which the original material did not have. ...
