It is understood that the phenomenon of homogeneity has existed for a long time in the ceramic tile industry, especially with the rapid development of inkjet printing technology. The barriers to innovation in product patterns and patterns between various companies and brands basically do not exist. Products of the same style Flooding the market, competition is becoming increasingly fierce. If outstanding and powerful companies want to stand out, raise the threshold of competition, and open up new blue oceans, they must increase investment in R&D and innovate and develop products that have core technologies that no one else has but that we have.
As an innovation-leading enterprise in the ceramic industry, the group to which KMY belongs has been committed to breaking through inherent R&D ideas, opening up new R&D directions, and striving to create new categories. The light-engraved phantom glazed tiles hide the patterns on the brick surface in the form of watermark patterns, attracting European colleagues to come to learn from them four times; the red ink breaks through the world's problems of high-temperature red ceramics; the jade tiles, the product is as transparent as jade, achieving high standards in the material field Horizontal innovation; granite tiles, superior to natural stone, have taken the market by storm...
Today, another high-level technological achievement leading the industry's innovation direction was born in KMY! It realizes the cross-dimensional innovation of ceramic tiles from two-dimensional flat patterns to three-dimensional solids! On August 12, 2022, the "controllable position large crystal flower polished ceramic tiles" scientific and technological achievements jointly developed by KMY's group and Dow Technology Innovation were evaluated by the Science and Technology and Industrialization Development Center of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development and were recognized as reaching the "international Advanced level"!

Evaluation Meeting Expert Group
Experts evaluate products
KMY’s group obtained inspiration from natural crystals and introduced large-size crystals as important decorative elements in architectural ceramic tiles, increasing the decorative dimension of the tiles from a two-dimensional plane to a three-dimensional one. It innovatively developed a “controllable large-scale crystal” Crystal polished glazed ceramic tiles". The crystal size in this product is greater than 3mm, and the precise positioning of crystal flowers is achieved. On the basis of enriching the two-dimensional decorative effect of ceramic tiles, it gives the ceramic tiles a stunning three-dimensional effect.
The innovative core point of this project lies in prefabricating seed crystals in order to quickly form large-sized crystal flowers under the firing system of architectural ceramic tiles; adjusting the formulas of polishing glaze and base glaze to provide a suitable physical and chemical environment for the growth of crystal flowers; Improving the optical properties of the top layer of glazed tiles enables the beauty of colorful crystal flowers to be better presented in glazed tiles, giving full play to their decorative role; finally, a set of efficient and simple production technology is formed, allowing large-sized crystal flowers to be produced accurately Well positioned and colorful.
Experts from the evaluation committee unanimously believe that the innovative project of KMY Group’s “Controllable Large Crystal Flower Glazed Ceramic Tiles” breaks away from the two-dimensional patterns of ceramic tiles on the market that generally rely on color and inkjet printing. As a decorative means, it has realized the innovation of three-dimensional ceramic tiles that is rare in the industry, bringing a novel and shocking visual experience and impact to consumers, and injecting new vitality into the building ceramics industry. According to a comprehensive evaluation, the level of this innovative technology has reached the "international advanced level".
Liu Haiguang, deputy section chief of the technology department of KMY’s affiliated group, gave a project report
Wang Yong, Marketing Director of KMY Group, speaks
Wang Yong, marketing director of the KMY group, said in his concluding speech that from two-dimensional to three-dimensional, another "internationally advanced" breakthrough innovation was born in the KMY group! KMY's innovation never stops, not only in terms of quantity, but also in terms of level of innovation.
Wang Yong, Marketing Director of KMY Group, speaks
Up to now, KMY’s group has 44 scientific and technological achievements that have passed authoritative appraisals, of which 21 have reached the “international advanced level” and 7 have reached the “international leading level”. Let us look forward to the next innovation of the KMY group to even greater heights!
