PF - Traditional red earthenware body (970º-1055ºC)http://www.sio-2.com/en_US/pf/ceramic/1/1 PF
Information
Traditional red earthenware body. It is a high quality and polyvalent clay, very popular for its finesse and plasticity. 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. Incredible results in reducing atmosphere can be obtained (metallic reflection technique).

PF/CH - Red grogged earthenware body (970º-1055ºC)http://www.sio-2.com/en_US/pfch/ceramic/1/2 PF/CH
Information
Red grogged earthenware body. The presence of grog confers to clay a very interesting textured surface (not flat) which, in turn, provides a set of suitable properties for the design of pieces in complex drying situations, thus avoiding the creation of deformations and cracks. Adequate for shaping and modelling.

PT - Traditional terrracotta earthenware body (990º-1085ºC)http://www.sio-2.com/en_US/pt/ceramic/1/3 PT
Information
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.).

PT/CH - Grogged terracotta earthenware body (990º-1085ºC)http://www.sio-2.com/en_US/ptch/ceramic/1/4 PT/CH
Information
Terracotta (calcareous) grogged earthenware body. The presence of grog confers to clay a very interesting textured surface (not flat) which, in turn, provides a set of suitable properties for the design of pieces in complex drying situations, thus avoiding the creation of deformations and cracks. Adequate for shaping and modelling. Its high resistance to frost and environmental degradation make it ideal for pieces exposed outdoors (big size garden pots, tiles, etc.).

PH - Pale terracotta earthenware body (990º-1085ºC)http://www.sio-2.com/en_US/ph/ceramic/1/5 PH
Information
Pale terracotta (calcareous) earthenware body. Its lower iron content allows displaying a palette of lighter colours, where its attractive light pink firing colour at 980ºC is pointed out. Its wide range of softness makes it suitable for throwing, modelling and shaping processes (extruding and pressing).

PK - Low coefficient earthenware body (970º-1055ºC)http://www.sio-2.com/en_US/pk/ceramic/1/6 PK
Information
Red earthenware body with low coefficient of thermal expansion. Specially designed for earthenware pieces those require some thermal shock resistance, for using into domestic ovens and direct flame (small pieces). Red-orange firing colour in oxidising atmosphere. Its wide range of softness makes it suitable for throwing, modelling and shaping processes (extruding and pressing). High plasticity and dry bending strength. Suitable for both once and twice firing processes.

PA - White earthenware body for modelling (1050º-1080ºC)http://www.sio-2.com/en_US/pa/ceramic/1/7 PA
Information
Special white earthenware body for modelling. It is a high quality and polyvalent clay, very popular for its finesse and plasticity. Its balanced calcium carbonate content (15%) confers higher stability than traditional white earthenware bodies. Its coefficients of thermal expansion are ideal for standard glazes for pottery, in both once and twice firing processes.

PM/CH - Black grogged body (970ºC-1025ºC)http://www.sio-2.com/en_US/pmch/ceramic/1/10 PM/CH
Information
Black manganese grogged ceramic body. Its black colour in an oxidising atmosphere is a highlight in the range of low temperature colours. The presence of grog clay confers the ceramic body a very interesting textured surface (not flat) which, in turn, provides a set of suitable properties for the design of pieces in complex drying situations, thus avoiding the creation of deformations and cracks. Adequate for shaping and modelling.
