Grolleg Kaolin is a blended English china clay, combining moderate plasticity, low titania content and relatively high flux content, low shrinkage and blue-white fired color.
C$130.00
Tile Clay #6 (6 Tile) is an airfloated kaolin with bright firing properties yet highly plastic. It thus offers high green strength for superior jiggering and wet processing properties.
