Ceramic Glaze Deposits Contamination

Ceramic-glaze contamination consists of vitrified silicate residues that form during high-temperature firing in ceramic manufacturing, so layer adheres tightly to surfaces after cooling. This contamination shows unique glassy hardness and chemical inertness, which distinguish it from softer organic residues or metallic scales, and on materials like porcelain or alumina, it behaves as a uniform coating that resists cracking under stress. Removal faces challenges from its durable bond, but laser cleaning proves effective because precise energy pulses ablate the glaze selectively, so substrate remains undamaged during treatment.
