Guangdong Tedi Ceramics Co., Ltd. was established in Foshan, the ceramic capital of southern China, in 2002. At that time, ceramic tiles mainly played a decorative role; at that time, various ceramic tile brands were still focusing on basic performance such as color, wear resistance, and quality of ceramic tiles. . On the basis of making ceramic tiles well, we are also thinking about whether decorative ceramic tiles can be given more functions, such as formaldehyde removal, odor removal, and air purification.
When talking about the research and development of functional ceramic tiles, we have to mention a past incident. In 2003, we specially cooperated with Professor Zeng Hanmin, who was the president of Sun Yat-sen University at the time. During a field inspection of ceramic raw materials, Professor Zeng accidentally discovered that The air at a certain mine is particularly fresh, but there are not many green plants around the mine. This attracted everyone's attention, and the ore from the mine was brought back to the laboratory for analysis. The results showed that the ore has the function of exciting water molecules in the air to produce negative ions. The two parties found common ground on this issue, so they worked together to tackle the problem and began to develop negative ion ceramic tiles in 2003.
Core Technology-Inventor of Negative Ion Tiles
We must know that more than ten years ago, "functional ceramic tiles" were not only a new thing for consumers, but also a very advanced technology for enterprises. How to solve the problem of stable performance of negative ion materials at high temperatures is a big problem, because the performance of ceramic materials will change at high temperatures. After extensive experiments by scientific researchers, they finally overcame the difficulty and in 2004 produced porcelain tiles that can continuously and stably produce negative ions. In the same year, we applied for a national invention patent certificate and officially obtained the patent authorization in 2007.
Patent name: A method for producing healthy ceramic tiles that can release negative ions
Patent number: ZL200410079022.8
Perseverance-Fourteen years of focus on negative ion ceramic tiles
It has been fourteen years since Te Te obtained the invention patent authorization for negative ion ceramic tiles in 2007. During these fourteen years, Te Te has continuously developed, improved and upgraded the negative ion production process, and made continuous breakthroughs. In 2016, it has launched all negative ion products online. In order to better Promote the promotion and popularization of negative ion ceramic tiles, and officially upgraded the brand to "Special Negative Ion Ceramic Tiles" in 2016.
Only special people can understand how difficult it is to endure these fourteen years of persistence and hardship. You must know that it takes a lot of manpower, material resources and time to establish a new category and popularize it for the public to accept. There were many people who followed the trend and specifically made negative ion ceramic tiles. Why they all quit midway was because the market acceptance at that time was not enough. I can only insist on doing market promotion.Extensive research and development, because specially • Li Qiang, the leader of negative ion ceramic tiles, knows that negative ion ceramic tiles will definitely have a big market in the future.
Develop standards-protect the healthy development of negative ion ceramic tile categories
After more than ten years of continuous promotion and promotion of negative ion ceramic tiles, and in recent years, there have been more and more reports of cancer caused by decoration pollution, especially after the COVID-19 epidemic, people have paid more attention to health, and the public has accepted negative ion ceramic tiles. The degree is also increasing day by day. Therefore, those brands that first followed the trend and made functional ceramic tiles and then withdrew saw the changes in the market and began to promote negative ion ceramic tiles. Some even changed the packaging and said that they were negative ion ceramic tiles. This resulted in a mixed bag of negative ion ceramic tiles on the market. , seriously affecting the healthy development of the category of functional ceramic tiles.
The prerequisite for the long-term development of the industry is standardization, and the means of standardization is standards. In order for the category of functional ceramic tiles to develop in a more long-term and healthy manner, professional standards are urgently needed. Because of Te Te's long research time, deep technology accumulation, large manufacturing scale, and wide brand influence in the field of functional ceramic tiles, Te Te has obvious advantages in the research and development capabilities and quality assurance of negative ion tiles. Therefore, in 2017, Te Te became the "group standard" for negative ion tiles. It is the drafting and compilation unit of three major standards: "industry standard, industry standard and national standard" to provide consumers with healthy and good ceramic tiles.
Industry Benchmark-National Engineering Center Science Popularization Base
Although the public is increasingly accepting of negative ion ceramic tiles, it is undeniable that a large number of people are not very familiar with negative ions and negative ion ceramic tiles. How can more people better understand, be familiar with, and experience negative ions? , after some thinking, the special people built the industry's first negative ion experience hall in 2019, breaking the conventional display method of the traditional exhibition hall in the ceramic tile industry in one fell swoop, creating a negative ion technology museum and experience hall that integrates technology and experience, causing received a huge response from the industry.
In view of the spirit of daring to innovate and break through, and the strength in the field of functional ceramic tiles, the specially built Negative Ion Science and Technology Museum was awarded the "National Engineering Center Science Popularization Base" (National Engineering Technology Research Center for Daily Use and Architectural Ceramics) at the opening ceremony. "Anion functional ceramic science education base" (Foshan Ceramic Society) "Foshan Chancheng District science education base" (Foshan Chancheng District Science and Technology Association).
Going global - the only one in the industry to win the Red Dot Supreme Award
September 25, 2019, Singapore, known as the "Oscar" in the design worldThe German Red Dot Award Ceremony, known as uo;, was held at the Red Dot Design Museum. The specially designed negative ion ceramic tile entry "Deer Road" won the Red Dot Supreme Award, becoming the only brand in the ceramic tile industry to win the Red Dot Supreme Award. In addition to the excellent design of the entries, Teijing was able to win the Red Dot Supreme Award because of its green, healthy and environmentally friendly concepts that were recognized by the judges. Everyone needs health, and the judges cast their valuable votes precisely because they saw that the specially designed negative ion ceramic tiles can bring health to users.
The Red Dot Award comes from Germany. It is an industrial design award as famous as the IF Design Award. It is the largest and most influential competition among the world's well-known design competitions. The Red Dot Award, together with the German "IF Award" and the American "IDEA Award", are known as the world's three major design awards. The Red Dot Supreme Award is a highly competitive award and is the top award of the "Red Dot Design Concept Award". Only the best products in each category win this award.
Lifestyle is a big proposition. In addition to meeting consumers' basic functional needs for products, we also need to consider pain points such as decoration pollution, as well as consumers' demand for "beauty". The specially launched negative ion ceramic tiles take into account the value demands of consumers. Products that meet these needs of consumers are lifestyle products.
