Red Clay

Red Clay Technology is an initial art of ceramics and has acted as a seed to Traditional & advance Ceramics. The technology is making its own importance in the field of Low energy, Cost effective production of Ceramic Products. Hence, the incorporation of Red Clay Technology, found to be essential tool of traditional Science from the Industrial point of view.
Mineralogically it manly consists of Micaceous Clay mineral which categories in Kaolinite mineral. However, the association of Montmorillonite and Illite group is also frequent. The presence of ferruginous impurities and other materials have favorable effects on vitrification behavior and fired properties of the clay. These clays can be used directly or generally admix with non-plastic materialsadditives (10-40%). These additives impart strength and reduce water absorption.
