Technical Data Sheet (TDS)
Tile Grade Clay
Specially developed for vitrified, porcelain, and glazed tile bodies, our Tile Grade Clay provides excellent vitrification kinetics at lower temperatures. It helps tile manufacturers achieve maximum compaction, high mechanical strength, and minimal dimensional variance after firing.
