Title: Increasing the frost resistance of facade glazed tiles

Journal Article · · Glass Ceram. (Engl. Transl.); (United States)
DOI:https://doi.org/10.1007/BF00697870· OSTI ID:5530963

The authors investigate the protective properties of a coating of boron oxides and zirconium oxides applied as a glaze to ceramic tiles by conducting a series of tests to determine the frost resistance, the propensity to absorb water, the moisture expansion coefficient, the fracture behavior, and the effect of thermal cycling on the oxides. Results are graphed and tabulated.
