The compositional variety and numerous practical application possibilities have resulted in a wide range of different ceramic materials with a correspondingly varied field of application. Ceramics, however, concerns not only materials but also highly complex technology.

Chemical additives make an important contribution to the processing of different raw materials in order to achieve reproducible results and manufacture high quality products via the technological steps of preparation, shaping, glazing and decorating.

The requirements are high, therefore our range of additives is being continually developed and optimized according to the demands of our customers. The basis of our work is: continual product development, defined practice-oriented technical application combined with competent technical customer service, as well as our well-equipped laboratory.

Today the standard programme of ZSCHIMMER & SCHWARZ includes more than 600 special products for all areas of the ceramics industry, which are applied in the individual technological steps, e. g. adjusting defined rheological properties, or for dispersing, plasticizing and binding.
