Kerma is produced by mining, sorting and grinding of magnesium carbonate from natural deposits. It has a very low iron content resulting in a white colour and a high brightness, and it has been developed for the ceramic industry.
Kerma is applied on the reverse side of the tiles, just before introduction into the kiln. Its high refractoriness prevents the tiles from sticking on the kiln rollers at high temperatures which ensures trouble free production. Kerma gives an exceptionally attractive finish to the reverse side of the tiles. Kerma has the best cost/performance ratio of all mineral sources of magnesium.
