Water absorption index
The so-called water absorption rate is an indicator for judging the ability of ceramic products to absorb and penetrate water.
It is understood that when water is sucked into ceramics, the ceramics will expand to a certain extent, which can easily cause the glaze on the ceramic surface to crack due to expansion. It can be seen that the lower the water absorption rate, the better the quality of ceramic products. According to relevant national water absorption standards, sanitary ceramics with a water absorption rate of less than 3% are considered high-end ceramics. Currently, the water absorption rates of mid-to-high-end brands such as Kohler and American Standard on the market are less than 0.5%. When purchasing, you should pay more attention to the manufacturer's instructions and try to choose products with low water absorption.
