CERAMIC BODIES

PT - Traditional terrracotta earthenware body (990º-1085ºC)
Print


Traditional terracotta (calcareous) earthenware body. Its calcium carbonate content (20%) allows displaying an interesting palette of colours, from pink to straw colours, depending on the firing temperature and atmosphere. Its wide range of softness makes it suitable for throwing, modelling and shaping processes (extruding and pressing). Its coefficients of thermal expansion are ideal for standard glazes for pottery, in both once and twice firing processes. Its high resistance to frost and environmental degradation make it ideal for pieces exposed outdoors (garden pots, tiles, etc.).
