Product type
Ceramic clay is a natural material composed of fine-grained minerals that can be shaped and hardened when fired at high temperatures. It typically contains a mixture of kaolin, feldspar, and quartz, which contribute to its plasticity and strength. When heated, ceramic clay undergoes a transformation that makes it durable and resistant to heat and chemicals, making it suitable for various applications in the ceramics industry.
| Composition | Kaolin, feldspar, and quartz |
| Firing temperature | Approximately 1000°C to 1400°C |
| Plasticity | Varies based on clay type |
| Moisture content | Typically 10% to 20% |
| Color | White, red, or brown depending on mineral content |
When selecting ceramic clay, consider the specific application and desired properties such as plasticity, firing temperature, and color. It's important to specify the type of clay required for your project, whether it's for pottery, tiles, or refractory applications. Additionally, inquire about moisture content and any necessary certifications for industrial use.

There are several types including earthenware, stoneware, and porcelain.
Ceramic clay is mined, refined, and often mixed with additives before shaping and firing.
Firing temperatures generally range from 1000°C to 1400°C depending on the type.
Yes, waste clay can often be reclaimed and reused in new projects.
Earthenware is fired at lower temperatures and is more porous, while stoneware is denser and fired at higher temperatures.
Keep it in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture absorption.
