The thick wax layer on the surface is the main reason for the dark light of ceramic tiles, so removing the wax on tiles can restore the shine of tiles, and improve the antifouling performance of ceramic tiles surface at the same time, because the uniform wiping of dewaxing can well fill the tiny pores on the ceramic tile surface, make the antifouling molecules on the surface of the antifouling layer more evenly distributed, so as to improve its antifouling performance and wear resistance.

How Do You Remove Wax From Ceramic Tiles - Methods For Removing Wax

What Is The Function Of Plastic Film On The Surface Of Ceramic Tile

After the polishing process, the surface of the ceramic tile is generally waxed, and then a layer of plastic film of the same size as the ceramic tile is added to cover the surface of the ceramic tile.

Its function is to prevent the wax layer from overflowing and to stabilize the wax layer on the ceramic tile surface.
Because wax is an organic chemical substance, if exposed to the air for a long time, it will be oxidized, which will cause the wax layer to solidify on the surface of the ceramic tile, increasing the unnecessary process in the later stage.
Before the ceramic tile is put into storage and packed, in order to avoid the ceramic tile being scratched, in the whole box packaging of tiles, tiles and tiles are stacked according to the rules of face-to-face and back-to-back. Tile protective film plays a very good isolation role when ceramic tiles are stacked according to the face-to-face specifications.

If the plastic protective film is not torn off before tiling, it may lead to the difficulty of tearing off the plastic film attached to the ceramic tile after the completion of tiling, greatly increasing the workload, and at the same time, it is easy to cause unnecessary after-sales problems. Therefore, before tiling with plastic film, the plastic protective film must be torn off.
