Alkaline Clay
A naturally occurring clay material containing alkali-bearing minerals, valued for its fluxing behaviour, workability and contribution to ceramic body formulation and firing performance.
Natural Clay with Functional Fluxing Value
Alkaline clay is a naturally occurring industrial clay characterized by the presence of alkali-bearing mineral components. In ceramic formulations, these constituents can contribute fluxing action during firing while the clay fraction supports the processing and forming behaviour of the body. Its performance depends on mineral composition, particle characteristics and firing conditions, making proper material selection important for achieving the required body properties. Alkaline clay for ceramics can be incorporated into selected ceramic recipes to support workability, vitrification and controlled firing performance.
