This function covers additives for a specific, narrower purpose that doesn't fit any of the broader process categories above. Today that means an antibacterial additive, dosed into ceramic slurries, glazes, engobes, and the aqueous solutions used to store them, to control bacterial growth during storage and processing rather than in the fired product itself. Tile, ceramic, sanitaryware, and tableware producers use it to keep in-process slurries stable over the storage and handling time a real production line requires.
