Porcelain Plates vs. Everyday Plates: Durability That Speaks for Itself

In daily use, plates are one of the most commonly used pieces of tableware. A beautiful plate can make food look more appetizing, but factors like ease of cleaning are also important to us.

For restaurant owners, however, durability and practicality are even more critical. These factors impact operating costs and efficiency. If you are a restaurant operator who values these features, we highly recommend using porcelain plates.

What Is Porcelain?

Porcelain is a ceramic material made by heating raw materials, like kaolinite, in a kiln at high temperatures. While the standard firing temperature is generally between 1,200°C and 1,400°C, this range is only a reference. The actual temperature can vary depending on the specific materials and techniques used. Some processes even require temperatures exceeding 1,400°C.

Porcelain includes subtypes like bone china, hard-paste, and soft-paste porcelain.  The differences lie primarily in the composition of the clay body and the firing process.

Strength in Comparison: Durability Tests

To truly demonstrate the durability of porcelain plates, we conducted impact tests, and the results are telling:

• RON GROUP Porcelain Plates: Withstood multiple impacts without chipping or cracking. Their high-density structure and smooth finish make them resistant to stress and wear.

• Everyday Ceramic Plates: Cracked or shattered under similar conditions. The everyday plate, being more porous, are less dense and less durable under pressure.

Why RON GROUP Porcelain Plates Are Superior

• Material Composition

  RON GROUP porcelain plates are crafted from high-quality kaolin clay and fired at high temperatures. This process creates a dense, non-porous surface that resists moisture and cracking. In contrast, everyday plates, like earthenware, often have porous surfaces, making them prone to damage and stains.

• Elegant and Timeless Design

  Porcelain plates have a smooth, glossy finish. This adds sophistication and makes them suitable for both casual and formal occasions. Meanwhile, everyday plates often lack this refined appearance, with designs that may fade or wear out quickly.

• Longevity

  Porcelain plates are built to last, maintaining their integrity and appearance over years of use. This durability saves you money on replacements. On the other hand, everyday plates are prone to chipping, cracking, or discoloration. This leads to frequent replacements and higher costs over time.

• Ease of Cleaning

  The non-porous nature of porcelain plates ensures they resist stains and odors, making cleaning a breeze. However,  Everyday plates absorb grease or discolor easily, which requires extra effort to keep them looking good.

Impact Test: Head-to-Head Comparison of RON GROUP Porcelain Plates vs Other Products

When it comes to tableware, accidents happen—plates get dropped, stacked, or collide during use.  To test the durability of RON GROUP porcelain plates, we conducted an impact test. Two plates were collided directly to simulate real-world conditions.  Let’s see how RON GROUP plates performed compared to other brands.

Testing Setup

• Objective: Simulate real-life collisions to assess strength and resistance to damage.

• Method: A RON GROUP porcelain plate and a competing product were struck against each other at equal force.

• Measurement: Plates were inspected after each collision for cracks, chips, or breaks.

Results: Head-to-Head Performance

RON GROUP Porcelain Plates

Outcome: Withstood impact without visible damage, maintaining integrity after multiple collisions.
Why: Made with high-density porcelain and fired at high temperatures for superior strength.

Other Plates

Outcome: Showed visible cracks, chips, or complete breakage after just a few collisions.
Why: Lower-quality material and less robust manufacturing processes failed under stress.

Conclusion: Built to Withstand Real-Life Use

The head-to-head collision test highlights the exceptional durability of RON GROUP porcelain plates. They are resilient where others may fail, making them reliable for both restaurant and professional use.
