Ball Clay

Ball clay provides the ideal combination of plasticity and rheological stability in casting slips. It controls the flow rate and consistency of the slip, ensuring uniform mould filling, good casting rate, and easy release, resulting in dimensionally accurate sanitaryware pieces.

Unfired (green) strength is the mechanical strength of the ceramic body before firing. High unfired strength — provided by ball clay — allows the shaped body to be handled, dried, and transported without deformation or cracking, which is critical in automated sanitaryware and tile manufacturing.

Firing colour determines the aesthetic whiteness of the final ceramic product. Our Ceraplas grades are specifically engineered to deliver light to near-white firing colour, ensuring that the ceramic body and glaze achieve the brightness required for premium sanitaryware and tableware.

CERAPLAS F32 is specifically designed for tile engobe and glaze compounds, offering fine particle size, high plasticity, and excellent binding properties that ensure smooth coating, good adhesion to the tile body, and a uniform, defect-free glaze surface.

CERAPLAS EP 1033 is engineered for electrical porcelain, providing exceptional plasticity, controlled residue, low firing shrinkage, and high unfired strength. These properties ensure precise shaping and dimensional stability in high-voltage electrical insulator body formulations.
