Super absorbent tiles exceed the international quality actually failed?

Recently, some media have revealed that the water absorption rate of one product of the Champions Tile and one tile brand has not reached the national standard and was added to the blacklist. As the well-known ceramic tile brand in the minds of the public, why did the championship tile be included in the “black list” of the Xiamen City Administration of Industry and Commerce? The Sina Home reporter obtained the championship tile in one of the leading roles of this event and the first time. We contacted and interviewed Mr. Chen Zhinan, Vice President of the Group's Product Quality Control Department, for this event.

According to Mr. Chen, a 300mm×300mm enamel floor tile of Champion Tile in this incident, Xiamen Industry and Commerce Bureau found that the water absorption rate was 0.4% in the sampling inspection, which was inconsistent with the water absorption rate of the product logo. Was identified as a "failed" product. As the top person in charge of the group's quality assurance department, Chen Zong feels very "wronged."

According to China's ceramic tile national testing standards, ceramic tiles are divided into porcelain tiles (water absorption rate ≤ 0.5%), ceramic tile (water absorption rate of 3% ≤ E ≤ 6%), and silicate bricks (water absorption rate). % ≤ E ≤ 10%), ceramic tile (water absorption rate is more than 10%), etc., in which the national standard for water absorption of enamel tiles should be "0.5%

However, from the market point of view, because of lower water absorption, porcelain tiles have higher application performance such as higher strength and hardness wear resistance in home decoration, and the cost is also the highest. Champion tile to exceed the requirements of national standards, to exceed the national standard products, to meet the market testing, I believe that its quality is also determined to be impeccable. Is it because the tile water absorption rate is higher than the national standard and it is counted as unqualified? In the end, who has the final say on the quality of the tile?

In this regard, Mr. Chen Zhinan, deputy director of the Champions Tile Quality Assurance Department, told reporters that the quality of ceramic tiles depends on many factors. The water absorption rate, hardness, and strength are all important criteria to consider. The water absorption rate affects the hardness, strength and wear resistance of the tile to a large extent. Tiles with high water absorption generally have small voids and relatively low density. Conversely, tiles with low water absorption have higher densities and other properties such as hardness and strength will be better and inherent stability will be higher. As a result, cracking or shedding of tiles is less likely to occur. Therefore, the selection of tiles should first pay attention to its water absorption index, and the products with lower water absorption rate will be better.

“The Champion tile is a well-known enterprise in the ceramic tile industry and has always been subject to high standards and strict requirements for quality. While pursuing fashionable and stylish designs, it is always consistent with high quality. The company was informed that the products were in the Xiamen Industrial and Commercial Bureau market. In the sampling inspection, because the water absorption rate is not in conformity with the national standard, and it is mistakenly considered to be a “non-conformity” product, it is also very different.From an industry point of view, as an enterprise, our first priority is of course quality, and quality is the lifeblood of corporate development. We have always emphasized the need to increase research and development efforts, break through the limitations, and continue to exceed quality.The products that we hope to give consumers must be quality and worry-free.If you just stick to the "standards" and rest on your laurels, companies will inevitably put the cart before the horse. It will also make new adjustments to internal product standards so as to avoid unnecessary 'misunderstandings' with the national standard."

Tiles are indispensable materials for decoration, and their quality will directly determine the safety and aesthetics of home decoration. For consumers, of course, we want to buy the best quality products. Champion tile for the quality of demanding, destined that she will always walk in the forefront of the industry, but also consumers are the most trusted tile brand!
