Abstract
The paper studies the preparartion of several samples of marbel ceramic with the
addition of Zinc Oxide (ZnO) as a bonding material in the percentage of 0.0%, 2%, 4%, 6%,
and Sodium Silicate that is used now in preparing marble. The study deals with the outside
look, dimensions, cracking resistance and the ability of water absorpition which are some of
the reliable qualities in the preparation of the marble ceramic. The results of this study have
shown significant differences in the treated samples with Zinc Oxide in comparison with the
untreated samples. The results shown that the samples of Zinc Oxide were identical with the
reliable qualities with a clear effect of the different percentage of the added Zinc Oxide.
