Antibacterial Matte Glass-Ceramic Coatings with Satin Texture for Ceramic Tiles
Antibacterial satin glass-ceramic coatings for ceramic tiles have been developed by one-stage firing on the basis of high-calcium zinc aluminum silicate frits, which are modified with heavy metal cations. The antibacterial effect of the developed matte glass-ceramic coatings with a satin texture was established due to the effect of potentiating the antibacterial activity of the combined action of the hardystonite crystalline phase and fillers of zinc and tin oxides.
