In the last few years, the Spanish ceramic industry has gone through
a severe crisis, which has led to great market loss and reduction in
profi ts. Nevertheless, the ceramic industries in Spain have always characterised
themselves as an innovative sector, highly predisposed to
changes. It is precisely in times of crisis that the industries most seek
to break new ground in their quest for new innovations that will give
them an edge over competitors.
This study provides an overview of the advances that have recently
materialised in the ceramic tile industry. Various technological issues
are thus highlighted, such as tile decoration by inkjet printing, laser
technology, physical vapour deposition (PVD) technology, fi ring using
laser technology (laserfi ring project), etc. These techniques are being
used to develop innovative products, thus obtaining tiles with bactericidal
capability, conductive glazes, antielectrostatic tiles, etc. [-]
