operation at <strong>RAK</strong> <strong>Ce</strong>ramics<br />
SALT & PEPPER MODELS (GP Series)<br />
These models are full body tiles produced<br />
with the utilization <strong>of</strong> a dosing system.<br />
Various types <strong>of</strong> colour pigments in liquid<br />
form are mixed with the slip body in<br />
certain proportions by dosing system while<br />
simultaneously being fed into the spray<br />
drier. The dried clay granules (mixture <strong>of</strong><br />
colour pigments and clay body) is fed to<br />
the Hydraulic Press and pressed according<br />
to the required size. The clay tiles are then dried in the Horizontal Drier<br />
and subsequently fired in the Roller Kiln. The mixture <strong>of</strong> colour pigments<br />
creates the salt and pepper effect on the body <strong>of</strong> the tiles. These models<br />
are available in both Unpolished and Polished finishes.<br />
SOLUBLE SALT MODELS (GPS Series)<br />
Soluble Salt Printing Technology is employed<br />
to produce these models. Silk screens are<br />
used as the source <strong>of</strong> the designs to be<br />
printed on the surface <strong>of</strong> the clay tiles.<br />
Using the printing paste made <strong>of</strong> alkali or<br />
colouring salts, the designs are printed on<br />
the proper surface. Soluble salt solution is<br />
applied over the printed surface to aid the<br />
penetration <strong>of</strong> the print into the tile body by 2.8 mm to 3.2 mm deep.<br />
After the drying stage, the tiles are fired and subsequently polished to<br />
obtain the natural marble effect. These products are available in Polished<br />
finish only.<br />
DOUBLE-CHARGED WITH SOLUBLE SALT PRINTING<br />
MODELS (GPDSS Series)<br />
These tiles are a combination <strong>of</strong> both<br />
Double-Charged and Soluble Salt Printing<br />
Technology. Tiles similar to natural stones<br />
and marble can be created using this<br />
technology. These products are available in<br />
Polished finish only.<br />

Roto diaphragm Mixer (GPM)<br />
Double Charged (GPD)<br />
Double-charged with Dry glaze Application Models (GPDRG)<br />
FULL MASS PRODUCTS (GPM Series)<br />
These models are characterized by the natural design <strong>of</strong> marble<br />
veins and shades. To achieve this aesthetic design, a sophisticated<br />
technology called MDR (Rotary Diaphragm Mixer) was adapted.<br />
The tiles are manufactured with the use <strong>of</strong> various multi-coloured<br />
powders differing in their morphology.<br />
The basic powder and the coloured ones<br />
flow through the various pipes while<br />
coming from the hoppers on the service<br />
platform over the press. The rotary<br />
diaphragm mixer (MDR) simultaneously<br />
mixes the different powders and feeds<br />
the feeding hoppers with a series <strong>of</strong><br />
coloured spots inside the basic powder.<br />
After pressing, the tiles are fired and after subsequent polishing,<br />
the finished product resembles natural stones and marbles,<br />
having naturally created veins or shaded effect. These models are<br />
available in both Unpolished and Polished finishes.<br />
DOUBLE-CHARGED MODELS (GPD Series)<br />
These tiles are produced by a sophisticated technology known as<br />
“DOUBLE CHARGED”. Multi-coloured powders are used to obtain<br />
the typical appearance <strong>of</strong> a natural marble or granite. The doublecharging<br />
process is rendered by super<br />
imposing a layer <strong>of</strong> micronised powders,<br />
which after pressing, firing and eventual<br />
polishing, an aesthetic effect <strong>of</strong> a<br />
natural marble or granite is evolved to a<br />
layer <strong>of</strong> the basic tile body. These models<br />
are available in both Unpolished and<br />
Polished finishes.<br />
DOUBLE-CHARGED WITH DRY GLAZE APPLICATION<br />
MODELS (GPDRG Series)<br />
These tiles are produced through the<br />
combination <strong>of</strong> both Double-Charged<br />
and Dry Glaze Application. Dry glaze<br />
application transpires at the pressing<br />
stage itself. It is applied on top <strong>of</strong> the<br />
body powder, then pressed and fired.<br />
The finished product has a resemblance<br />
<strong>of</strong> natural stones with unrefined<br />
surface. These products are available in<br />
unpolished finish only.<br />
NANOPIX TECHNOLOGY<br />
This Technology is<br />
distinct with other<br />
prevalent printing<br />
techniques in the market,<br />
it can present high<br />
definition and multilayer<br />
decorative effect<br />
on ceramic surfaces<br />
through tridimensional<br />
printing <strong>of</strong> nanometer<br />
material with unique<br />
combination <strong>of</strong> glazes,<br />
and brings a delightful<br />
feeling to people, it is the most advanced printing technique at<br />
present.<br />
High definition : adopt high-tech three-dimension a design<br />
technology to make pictorial surface as fine as nanometer-grade,<br />
gradation is more abundant, and printing quality is extremely clear.<br />
Good simulation quality: fresh colour, vivid effect, optimal<br />
tridimensional sensation, achieves incomparable revolutionary<br />
technological breakthrough.<br />
Strong artistic feeling : Draw inspiration from high-end stone<br />
materials and top-class buildings, with high artistic taste, it is a rare<br />
art treasure.<br />
Durable and wearable : Brand-new nanometer material printing<br />
technology, with strong appearance durability, more serviceable.<br />
The Stone-art models uses<br />
the latest in digital printing<br />
technology in the ceramic tile<br />
industry. Unique stone look<br />
textures & designs are possible<br />
with the latest printing tiles ,<br />
possible using only high tech<br />
machinery and punches for<br />
effects. The tiles are produced<br />
on line, and the tile series aims<br />
at conquering spaces in the<br />
exterior & interior segments. Some <strong>of</strong> the new models launched in<br />
the series are Alta, Mosaic, Deep Stone Rustic, Travertino, & Vista in<br />
33 cm x 50 cm size. More sizes are in the <strong>of</strong>fering in the near future.<br />

STONE-ART<br />
RUSTIC “GP” TILES<br />
Rustic models are usually made from<br />
the basic body granules, pressed with<br />
structured punches and enriched<br />
with a suitable quantity <strong>of</strong> glaze and<br />
other application materials. To get the<br />
natural and elegant look <strong>of</strong> genuine<br />
stone, various types <strong>of</strong> printing and<br />
surface applications are employed, then<br />
intermittently sprayed and brushed on<br />
the surface thus enriching the natural<br />
effect. Intentional shade or colour<br />
variation, which is an integral element <strong>of</strong> the design is likely to<br />
be observed. Beside the familiar glazed surface and unpolished<br />
finish, these products are also available in Lapatto and Marbo<br />
finish.<br />

DIGITAL PRINT TECHNOLOGY<br />
<strong>RAK</strong> <strong>Ce</strong>ramics has acquired from one <strong>of</strong><br />
the leading equipment manufacturer in<br />
Italy, the Digital Print Technology , for the<br />
production <strong>of</strong> porcelain tiles with high<br />
aesthetic value. It combines aesthetic quality<br />
with a high production speed, meeting the<br />
ceramic manufacturer ‘s twin requirements<br />
<strong>of</strong> quality & productivity.<br />
Digital technology is one <strong>of</strong> the most<br />
advanced hi-definition printing Technology <strong>of</strong> porcelain tiles. It is also highly<br />
a flexible technology meeting the needs <strong>of</strong> both through bodied and glazed<br />
porcelain tile production.<br />
Beautiful series <strong>of</strong> tiles in Digital print technology had been manufactured<br />
in name <strong>of</strong> series such as - TROPICAL STONE, JADE STONE & BAVARIA<br />
(STOHOFEN STONE ).<br />
CHROMA TECHNOLOGY<br />
<strong>RAK</strong> <strong>Ce</strong>ramics has acquired from one <strong>of</strong><br />
the leading equipment manufacturer in<br />
Italy, the CHROMA Universal Press Feeding<br />
System, for the production <strong>of</strong> porcelain tiles<br />
with high aesthetic value. The technology<br />
can be applied to any type <strong>of</strong> press. It<br />
combines aesthetic quality with a high<br />
production speed, meeting the ceramic<br />
manufacturer‘s twin requirements <strong>of</strong><br />
quality & productivity.<br />
Chroma technology allows for a wide ranging aesthetic affect, and at<br />
the same time is efficient & more productive than conventional single &<br />
double layer press feeding systems.The possibility <strong>of</strong> feeding the press<br />
mould with spray dried bodies and glazes as well as micronised powders<br />
make it possible to produce tiles with ”travertine”, “veined”, and varied<br />
colour effects. The tiles can be produced in smooth, lapped, textured and<br />
polished verison without the need to alter tehir design in any way. The<br />
polishing processs that is after needed to make the design visible on the<br />
surface is no longer required for tiles using CHROMA. The aesthetic effect<br />
is visible immediately after the pressing phase, with no need for additional<br />
processes.<br />
CHROMA technology is one <strong>of</strong> the most advanced press feeding system for<br />
production <strong>of</strong> porcelain tiles. It is also highly a flexible technology meeting<br />
the needs <strong>of</strong> both through bodied and glazed porcelain tile production.<br />
Beautiful series <strong>of</strong> tiles in Chroma technology had been manufactured in<br />
TWIN PRESS (Double Pressing Technology)<br />
This technique involves first pressing step that forms the semi-compact body, in which layers <strong>of</strong> powder decoration are<br />
applied, followed by the actual or final pressing. The importance <strong>of</strong> double pressing certainly lies in the limitless possibility<br />
<strong>of</strong> creating new “Gres Porcellanato” tile products, whether glazed or unglazed, in the pressing stage and <strong>of</strong> developing<br />
products with effects that aesthetically give no reason to envy rustic or polished natural stone. This also helps to reproduce<br />
semi-precious stone such as Quartz. These models are available in both Unpolished and Polished finishes.<br />
TECHNOSLATE<br />
The name “TECNOSLATE” identifies a new technological process, which is a major innovation in the field <strong>of</strong> <strong>Porcelain</strong> tile; a<br />
system capable <strong>of</strong> producing through-bodied vein effects on textured rustic tiles. With this new technology, the tile comes<br />
out <strong>of</strong> the press with the veins already visible, making it possible to create all kinds <strong>of</strong> products, from smooth surfaces<br />
(which may undergo final polishing) to textured surfaces. These products are available in Unpolished finish only.<br />
EASY OXIDE MIXING or DRY OXIDE MIXING<br />
This is the latest technology for the production <strong>of</strong> “Gres Porcellanato” tiles with high aesthetic levels and to obtain multiple<br />
colour combination. This process involves the production <strong>of</strong> coloured powders by means <strong>of</strong> mixing dry colouring oxides to<br />
the base body granules to get uniform coloured granules.<br />
The above chart shows how <strong>RAK</strong> <strong>Ce</strong>ramics invested regularly in high technology in the porcelain tiles field to meet<br />

considerably lower, and last but not the<br />
least, the emissions from plants that is a result<br />
<strong>of</strong> manufacturing <strong>of</strong> the tiles is far lower<br />
as lesser energy is consumed, and lesser raw<br />
materials & chemicals used in the process.<br />

SPECIALITY PRODUCTS - EXQUISITE DESIGNS IN CUSTOM CERAMICS- Water Jet Designs<br />
<strong>RAK</strong> CERAMICS’ <strong>of</strong>fers exquisite design solutions for floors and walls<br />
in Gres Procellanato material. An example <strong>of</strong> CNC production in<br />
designs for interiors, these designs can be custom made, and are also<br />
available in a wide choice <strong>of</strong> existing patterns.<br />
These designs are a combination <strong>of</strong> uniquely carved out pieces<br />
resulting in tile formations when individually processed pieces are<br />
assembled together. Each design contains between 5 to 20 pieces,<br />
and multiple colour combinations may be possible. The designs are<br />
carved out in Gres Porcellanato, and customers can also specify the<br />
size <strong>of</strong> the designs. Layouts <strong>of</strong> about 5 feet in diameter are quite<br />
popular in most <strong>of</strong> the flooring designs. Complementary wall designs<br />
can also be realized.<br />
Designs and patterns are made using the latest water-jet cutting<br />
technology. A water-jet with abrasive components, with a speed<br />
twice that <strong>of</strong> sound, cuts unique designs and patterns created<br />
through computerized imaging. A highly sophisticated computer<br />
controlled workstation targets the water jet to produce designs,<br />
mosaic incrustations, logos and many other items in various colours<br />
and sizes.<br />
The CNC automation leads a water jet under very high pressure to<br />
carve out designs on ‘fully vitrified’ porcelain tiles manufactured<br />
using raw materials such as china clay, feldspars, silica sand and other<br />
suitable raw materials. The water absorption <strong>of</strong> porcelain material is<br />
less than 0.05% and its very low wear and stain resistance makes it<br />
suitable for use in high traffic areas. A very high mechanical strength<br />
greater than 45 M/mm2 in compliance with EN 100 standard, as well<br />
as a deep abrasion resistance makes these designer tiles a long lasting<br />
marvel.<br />
These designs look very different from those obtained by assembling<br />
patterns from stones such as marble and granite. The intricate<br />
patterns <strong>of</strong> these designs – <strong>of</strong> small and very small pieces fitting with<br />
and within larger pieces – can be achieved only through water-jet<br />
cutting.<br />

Green Building and Sustainable Design:<br />
Green building is a method <strong>of</strong> designing and constructing<br />
a building that minimizes adverse impact on our natural<br />
resources and environment. Sustainable design brings a<br />
practical view to design and construction <strong>of</strong> “building with<br />
an ecologically sustainable focus”. This not only considers<br />
the building’s performance, but also the materials used.<br />
In addition to increasing energy and water efficiency;<br />
sustainable buildings reduce pollution, alleviate strain on<br />
utility infrastructure, conserve fuel systems and elevate<br />
occupants comfort, productivity and health. In essence, this<br />
includes designing and constructing a building with energy<br />
and water efficiency in mind, as well as minimizing any<br />
adverse impact <strong>of</strong> the building on its inhabitants as well as<br />
the environment.<br />
<strong>RAK</strong> <strong>Ce</strong>ramics’s Response in Support to Green Building<br />
Construction:<br />
As a responsible global leader in the ceramic industry,<br />
protection and preservation <strong>of</strong> the environment<br />
is a top priority for <strong>RAK</strong> <strong>Ce</strong>ramics. We believe the<br />
long-term success <strong>of</strong> the company depends on the<br />
satisfaction <strong>of</strong> its customers and the stakeholder’s<br />
commitment in environmental friendly and sustainable<br />
operations.<br />
Protection <strong>of</strong> the environment, reducing climate change and<br />
emissions and minimizing ecological impact are the main<br />
reasons <strong>of</strong> <strong>RAK</strong> <strong>Ce</strong>ramics in supporting and getting involved<br />
in the Green Building Construction. As testimony, the<br />
company invested on mechanisms that reduce the adverse<br />
impact <strong>of</strong> the company’s operations and products, to the<br />
natural resources and environment.<br />
Two <strong>of</strong> the noble reasons for promoting the use ceramic<br />
and gres porcellanato tiles for floor and wall finishing are<br />
“achieving lower operating lifecycle costs” for building<br />
and “creating a healthy indoor environment” for humans.<br />
The cost involved for the maintenance <strong>of</strong> ceramic and gres<br />
porcellanato tiles is less and the life cycle is longer than<br />
other floor and wall fit-outs. As well, international research<br />
has clearly shown that green building fit-outs are not just<br />
better for the environment but more importantly, they are<br />
better for the health and productivity <strong>of</strong> those who live or<br />
work in them. Poor indoor air quality and toxic fumes from a<br />
range <strong>of</strong> building materials including paints, wood products<br />
and carpets contribute to poor health and productivity<br />
in <strong>of</strong>fice workers. <strong>RAK</strong> <strong>Ce</strong>ramics promotes building<br />
fit-outs that will provide healthier indoor environment and<br />
more productive workplaces which also have less negative<br />
impact on the environment.<br />
