Shunhui Tiles·Stone Slabs
Digital mold technology
In the last month of 2020, Shunhui Tiles and Rock Slabs achieved a leap-forward breakthrough in "digital" technological innovation. It cooperated with Tao Lixi, a world-renowned ink technology company, to jointly develop digital mold technology and Became the first mass-produced enterprise in China. This technology not only digitizes the manufacturing of concave and convex simulated textures on the surface of ceramic tiles, greatly improving the display effect of the surface texture of ceramic tiles, but also provides a "black technology" solution to today's demanding slate production process requirements.
On December 18, 2020, Shunhui Tile and Slab Digital Mold Technology Conference was successfully held. The relevant person in charge of Shunhui Tiles and Rock Slabs revealed at the meeting that its mold technology has four core technologies. Among them, for the production of rock slabs, on the one hand, digital mold technology avoids problems such as uneven density and damage to stress balance during the pressing of the green body caused by traditional plate making processes, paving the way for the subsequent high-demand refined processing of rock slabs and improving the finished product. efficiency; on the other hand, digital mold technology can perfectly match the production methods of rock slabs with the same pattern, color, and texture, but with different specifications, thicknesses, and surface techniques, giving it greater advantages in the fiercely competitive rock slab market.

Mona Lisa Slate
3mm high-strength polishing technology
After taking the lead in introducing the Henlitai HT36000 press in 2019 to produce the first domestically produced 1600×3600mm ultra-large size rock slab, breaking the international monopoly, Mona Lisa achieved another technological breakthrough in 2020 and independently developed 3mm high-strength polished rock Plate and translucent rock plate, filling the technical gap in the polishing surface of ultra-thin ceramic plates in China.
On October 27, 2020, the China Building Materials Industry New Technology and New Product Results Conference hosted by the China Building Materials Federation and hosted by Mona Lisa was grandly held in Beijing. At the meeting, the expert group determined that Mona Lisa’s 3mm high-strength and tough polished slate and translucent slate technologies have reached the internationally advanced level, among which the ultra-thin ceramic slate’s high-strength and high-toughness properties are among the best in the world. According to reports, based on the successful development of high-strength ceramic rock slabs, Mona Lisa has improved the polishing mirror surface by studying the distribution of pressure and cutting force on the bricks during the polishing process by combining polishing modules with different shapes and elasticities. The effect is to reduce the breakage rate, achieve single-sided and double-sided polishing of ultra-thin ceramic rock plates with a thickness of 3mm and below, and fill the technical gap in the polishing surface of ultra-thin ceramic plates. 3mm high-strength slate can not only be widely used in cabinets, wardrobes and other household panels; it can also be combined with other materials for a variety of purposes to make products with special material properties; because it has toughness that ordinary ceramics do not have, it can It is suitable for paving special-shaped walls such as curved exterior walls and tunnels.
This technological achievement has been highly praised both inside and outside the industry. Miao Bin, president of the China Building and Sanitary Ceramics Association, pointed out that the launch of 3mm high-strength polished rock slabs marks that the industrialization level of China's building and sanitary ceramics industry in the field of ceramic rock slabs has reached a new level.

Delifeng Home
75° ultra-white light-transmitting material technology
As one of the earliest slate brands in China to enter the field of whole-house customization, Delifeng Home Furnishing enjoys a high reputation in the industry and consumer groups with its strong influence, research and development capabilities, productivity and product strength. The 3mm thin rock slab launched in 2020 weighs only 7kg per square meter. It uses domestic leading superconducting technology to achieve the light transmission performance of the product, taking the product's appearance to a higher level.
On August 26, 2020, "3rd birthday"Everything" 2020 Gold Medal Enterprise China Building and Sanitary Ceramics Industry Slate Application Research Center Unveiling Ceremony and Delifeng Thin Slab Global Launch Conference were held grandly at Sofitel Foshan Louvre Hotel. On the same day, "China Building and Sanitary Ceramics Industry Slate Application Research Center" Center" is located in Delifeng Home Furnishing (a gold medal enterprise). The new Delifeng 3mm thin rock plate product released simultaneously not only has the powerful performance of bending ±30°, but also relies on the 75° light transmission of "light" and overflowing colors. Beauty has become the "new favorite" in the field of high-end home furnishings.
It is understood that Delifeng has adopted domestic leading superconducting technology, adopted 75°+ white high-quality materials, and used an equal combination of the three primary colors of light to achieve the product's 75° light transmittance performance. The light-transmitting properties of Delifeng's 3mm ultra-thin slate surpass the limitations of previous processes, add transparency to home decoration, create a more three-dimensional sense of spatial hierarchy, and instantly enhance the visual quality of the space. At the same time, it also brings benefits to designers. More inspiration.

Nobel Slate
5.0 intelligent texture technology
On the road of technological innovation of domestic ceramic products, Nobel has always been the "leader" in the industry. In 2020, Nobel slate once again made a major breakthrough in technological research. The world's first intelligent texture integration technology has realized the true integration of materials, colors and textures for the first time, making the slate truly "the same on the outside and the same on the inside".
From July 20th to 24th, 2020, the 2020 Foshan (Tanzhou) International Ceramics Exhibition was held grandly, and the Nobel Slate 5.0 full body series made a grand debut. It is understood that the realization of the Nobel 5.0 full-body slate is based on the exclusive "intelligent muscle full-body technology". With the support of 44,000 tons of instant pressure large press, digital cloth and digital penetrating inkjet, the slate appears Produce a whole-body feel and consistency from the inside out. Nobel slate has broken through the limits of the industry, and its three-way body has reached the top standard of rock slabs. It is the first rock slab to realize a three-way body. The decorative effect is the same as that of stone, refreshing the industry's new understanding.

New Pearl Slate
Graphene heating rock plate technology
Graphene heating tiles are a particularly prominent and relatively niche category in the field of functional ceramic tiles. Entering 2020, the rock slab trend is coming. Thanks to the multi-scenario home application characteristics of rock slabs, graphene heating technology has once again been used in ceramic production. Graphene heating rock slabs have emerged at the historic moment, and their popularity continues to rise.
In October 2020, Xinmingzhu Slate’s “black technology” concept products—smart graphene slate heating dining table and smart graphene slate heating multifunctional wardrobe respectively won the 10th “Governor’s Cup” CMF special project The second and third prizes in the conceptual design category of the competition. Being able to "compete" on the same stage with Internet star companies such as Tencent, Meizu, and Xiaopeng, and standing out among more than 30,000 entries to win the award, the charm of New Pearl Slate's "smart graphene slate" is evident.
It is reported that the new Mingzhu smart graphene slate product adopts a three-layer protection design of slate products, smart graphene heating chips, and environmentally friendly insulation layers. It truly achieves efficient heating and "zero leakage" and is more energy-saving than traditional heating methods. 35%; at the same time, the far-infrared rays released by the graphene chip when generating heat can also achieve sterilization and disinfection effects, which can maximize the removal of mites and bacteria. In addition, smart graphene slate products include smart thermostats, which can achieve smart temperature control throughout the house.
