Significance and Use5.1 Current solid surface test methodologies, such as theTest Method E2180 and ISO 22196, do not take into accountthe complexities associated with a ceramic surface. Thisincludes, but is not li

Each point will be elaborated below:5.1.1 The glaze composition of ceramic tiles can varybetween manufacturers, lots, and product lines. Some glazechemistries such as tin, sil

12、ver and copper can negatively impactthe testing conditions. Therefore, an untreated tile from thesame lot is not always suitable for comparison. The control tileproposed herein is capable of supporting growth over theindicated time frame and nutrient level (see Section 9).5.1.2 Desiccation is a comm
