Water absorption in dinnerware may seem like a technical term, but it is a crucial aspect that affects both the function and aesthetic of the dinnerware. The property refers to the amount of liquid that can be absorbed by the material of a dish, bowl, or plate. Dinnerware can be made from materials, from earthenware and stoneware to porcelain and bone china. Each material has a specific water absorption rate for the body, affecting the dinnerware's durability and safety.
Earthenware and stoneware are known for their higher-water absorption rates. These materials are more porous, meaning they have an open structure allowing an amount of moisture to be absorbed. The more porous the dinnerware may be more prone to having issues with overheating and cracking over time when exposed to water.
Our stoneware ranges have been specifically designed and manufactured to achieve a low water absorption rate to give the customer a product that consistently performs at its best.
On the other hand, non-porous materials like porcelain and bone china have a near-zero absorption rate. These particular bodies are fired at higher temperatures and have more premium/different ingredients within them. These fuse together and create a much denser and smooth, impervious surface. Non-porous dinnerware is more durable and resistant to cracking, chipping, and overheating. It also ensures that the food served on it is safe and hygienic, as there is less chance of bacteria growth.
The water absorption property of dinnerware is vital for manufacturers and consumers alike. For manufacturers, it is essential to consider the water absorption rate of the material when designing and producing dinnerware. They need to ensure that the material they use can withstand repeated use and washing without deteriorating quality. On the other hand, consumers need to be aware of the water absorption rate of the dinnerware they purchase. They should choose dinnerware that has a low water absorption rate to ensure that the food they serve is safe and hygienic.
In conclusion, water absorption in dinnerware is an essential aspect that affects the function and aesthetic of the dinnerware. The water absorption rate of the material used determines its durability and safety. Manufacturers and consumers should pay attention to this property to ensure they use high-quality dinnerware that can withstand repeated use and washing. A high-quality dinnerware set with a low water absorption rate not only adds to the elegance of the dining table but also provides peace of mind for the safety of those who dine on it.
