Ceramic Shield has been used on restaurant plates since 2020, and those treated plates are still in use today, maintaining their waterproof and functional properties. However, the longevity of the Ceramic Shield finish depends on how well the surface is treated. Harsh chemicals, abrasives, or heavy cutlery scraping can impact or degrade the surface over time, as seen with traditionally glazed plates.
Taking proper care, such as washing with mild detergents and avoiding abrasives, can extend the life of the Ceramic Shield finish beyond the lifespan of the plate itself. It’s important to note that the sealer will remain waterproof only as long as the surface stays intact, especially for low-fired or low bisque plates. Heavy scraping of cutlery on unstable bisque-fired plates is not recommended.
While earthenware clay bodies like terracotta can be successfully sealed, they may remain more susceptible to chips and damage compared to high-fired stoneware or porcelain due to the nature of the clay body. Sealing the surface does not alter the fundamental properties of the clay body.
With regular use, the microscopic particles on the surface may flatten out over time, resulting in reduced beading of water and other liquids. However, this does not affect the water resistance or food safety of the surface, as the sealer deeply fuses with the clay body, forming a lasting barrier.
Determining Ceramic Shield Quantity:
For optimal results, you’ll need approximately 50-75ml of Ceramic Shield per square meter, especially for very porous surfaces. Less porous surfaces like vitrified ware may require a lower amount.
For a standard size dinner plate, even with thorough coverage using the dipping method, you typically need no more than 10-15ml. Ceramic Shield proves to be cost-effective compared to traditional glazing methods, especially when considering materials, firing costs, and labor.
