PLA - SIO 2 Blue Low Temperature Modeling Clay

Sio2 PLA Earthenware is a blue clay. Its blue colour in oxidising atmosphere is a highlight in the range of low firing colours. Its fineness and plasticity make it an excellent choice for wheel- throwing and modelling. Very good behaviour with standard pottery glazes. Available in extruded body (moist form). Firing range: 1050-1080ºC / Cone 05-03; Water content (throwing): 19%; Plasticity (IP Atterberg): 15; Carbonate content (CaCO3): 16%; Drying shrinkage: 5.6%; Firing shrinkage (1050ºC): -0.3%; Porosity (water absorption at 1050ºC): 12.1%; Dry bending strength: 4.1 N/mm2; Fired bending strength (1050ºC): 31.7 N/mm2; Thermal coefficient (25-500ºC): 76.6x10^-7ºC^-1.
