BioKeram T
BioKeram T is a biopolymer tailored for extruded ceramic products. It is an innovative solution for challenging extrusions. BioKeram T is a 3-in-1 product: it optimises plasticity, increases strength and improves the drying process by minimising shrinkage and reducing cracks.
BioKeram T improves extrusion, reduces energy consumption and increases production rates. It is particularly efficient for low plasticity clays which require higher amounts of water.
It accomplishes three functions for ceramics extrusion:
- Clay conditioner
- Water retention aid
- Binder
BioKeram T is effective when extrusion is seriously compromised. For example, when using clays with low plasticity/high non-plastic content or very high moisture content.
In these cases, BioKeram T modifies the clay's rheology enabling the correct kneading and extrusion, and controlling the release of water during the drying process.
BioKeram T is predominantly available for customers in Europe - excluding UK. Please contact us to see if this product is available in your country or to discuss alternatives we may have available for you.
Performance data
Lab trial: biokeram t improves low plasticity clays extrusion
Lab tests at an independent technical institute have proven that biokeram t aids the most challenging extrusions. this additive is beneficial for low plastic clays and also an excellent alternative to using more expensive raw materials.
Field trial: biokeram t – performance in very wet clays
This field trial shows that the addition of 0.2% of biokeram t effectively increases the stiffness of very wet clay.
