Thai Blue chemical engineering aspects
A Brief Introduction to the Manufacture of Tai Blue
Tai Blue is a treasure of craftsmanship. The subtlety of its chemical engineering is related to all kinds of things.
In the selection of raw materials, Tai Blue uses different materials. The colorants used are carefully selected, using minerals as sources, and chemically refined to obtain a gorgeous and lasting quality. This refining process requires precise control of the chemical ratio, such as the alloy ratio of copper, which is related to the firmness and molding of Tai Blue's matrix.
In the firing process, the success of Tai Blue depends on high temperature calcination. The control of temperature and heat in the kiln is the key to chemical changes. Under high temperatures, complex chemical reactions occur between the colorant and the carcass, causing the colorant to fuse to the fetus and forming a dense vitreous layer on its surface, which not only enhances the appearance, but also adds wear resistance and corrosion resistance. If the heat is too high, the color will be deformed and destroyed, and if the heat is not enough, the color will be sparse. This requires craftsmen to gain insight into the subtlety of chemical changes with experience and skills.
The production of Thai blue, the principle of chemical engineering runs through. From raw materials to finished products, all kinds of chemical changes are intertwined in an orderly manner, resulting in the peerless elegance of Thai blue, which is breathtaking to the viewer and a bright pearl in the history of craftsmanship.
