With the introduction of Kalocer mosaics Kalenborn has combined the advantage of traditional mosaic techniques with modern wear protection. The Kalocer material is in the family of oxide ceramics. The major constituent is alumina. Particle size and particle size distribution have been matched to achieve particularly high abrasion resistance. One of the main benefits of Kalocer for general practice is the ability to produce relatively thin tiles. This is of particular advantage whenever existing plant systems have to be lined or where aspects of space and weight are of special importance. Kalocer mosaics make use of the material’s high resistance against wear and temperature. Generally, Kalocer tiles are square, hexagon or special shape with dimensions ranging from 10 x 10 mm to 20 x 20 mm and are glued to mats of 500 x 500 mm. The thickness varies between 1.5 mm and 12 mm.
