CMC has been widely used as a nonstaining wallpaper adhesive. It has also been used as an adhesive in the paper and textile industries. Characteristics of CMC that are important for this application are its ease of slip, nonspoiling property, high adhesive efficiency, and ease of makeup. CMC has found use in the ceramics industry where its ability to bind and suspend materials during various stages of manufacture is important. It is used in glazes for sanitaryware, structural tile, and dinner ware. 

For many traditional ceramics such as structural elements (tiles, bricks, etc.), white-wares, (tableware, sanitaryware, etc.), and common refractories, the raw materials are naturally occurring minerals, and moderate levels of impurities are tolerated. More specialized technical ceramics such as electronic ceramics (substrates, electronic packages, capacitors, inductors, etc.) or high performance structural ceramics (silicon carbide, silicon nitride, etc.) demand low or controlled levels of impurities and make use of higher purity powders often made by more specialized techniques. 

Sicocer . [BASF AG] Decorative colors for ceramics, tiles, enamel, glass, sanitaryware, porcelain, underglaze. 

Slip casting is a shaping method for powder-based ceramic components that has been used for a long time in the traditional ceramic industry for the manufacture of tableware and sanitaryware. SUp casting is also occasionally used in the manufacture of advanced (technical) ceramics. 

In the same year, 1986, the ormocers were presented to the public. These coatings are sprayed in a thickness of nm onto window glass and darken this when the sun shines on it. In the 1990s, these nanoscale powders were also used in silicate ceramics applied to tiles, sanitaryware and tableware articles or roofing tiles, they make sure that dirt particles caimot attache themselves to the surface. Special compositions even have an anti-bacterial effect. 

Extruders were and are used in aU sections of the ceramics industry, if you disregard sanitaryware. 

Whiteware sales, which include sanitaryware (toilet bowls, basins, etc.) and dinnerware (plates, cups), account for about 10% of the total market for ceramics. The largest segment of the whiteware market, accounting for about 40%, is floor and wall tiles. In the United States we use about 2.5 billion (2.5 x 10 ) square feet of ceramic tiles per year. Annual sales of sanitaryware in the United States total more than 30 million pieces.

Ceramic oxides represent the most extensive group of ceramic materials produced today. Traditionally, but rather artificially, the oxide ceramics are divided into traditional and advanced groups. The traditional ceramics include mostly silica-based products prepared from natural raw materials (clays), including building parts (bricks, tiles), pottery, sanitaryware, and porcelain, but also ceramics with other main components (e.g., alumina, magnesia), which are applied in the field of electroceramics (insulators), or industrial refractories. 

Generally, the advanced ceramics that must meet exacting property requirements tend to have relatively simple microstructures. A good reason for this is that the microstructure is more amenable to control when the system is less complex. Even so, as outlined earlier, the attainment of these relatively simple microstructures in advanced ceramics can be a difficult task. For the traditional clay-based ceramics, for which the properties achieved are often less critical than the cost or shape of the fabricated article, the microstructures can be fairly complex, as shown in Fig. 1.22 for a ceramic used for sanitaryware (16). 

Voklay. A sodium bentonite from Wyoming, USA. (Tradename.) VoluphanL A derivative of the ELEPHANT (q.v.) electrophoretic casting machine, to make large pieces of ware, such as sanitaryware. The anodes form the upper and lower dies of a press moulding. The cathode is shaped to fit between them and build up the cast before it is removed and the press die closed to shape the article.
