The clays have the proven capacity of producing a world class, white translucent porcelain. Clays for high quality ceramics of all types can be supplied.
Porcelain Clay
Porcelain clay has a kind of reputation in ceramics that very few other clays can claim. It’s the one people turn to when they want something clean, white, and almost glowing once it’s fired. Unlike stoneware or earthenware that might carry an earthy tint or heavier body, porcelain clay has the proven ability to make ceramics that are both strong and delicate at the same time. The Multi Minerals Australia clays are known to produce a porcelain body that surpasses some of the best-known names worldwide.
Whiteness and Translucency
If you ask a potter or anyone who works in ceramics what they look for in porcelain, they’ll usually say two things: whiteness and translucency. These are the hallmarks of quality porcelain. Multi Minerals Australia’s porcelain clay has been tested and placed side by side with well-known bone China from Noritake and Wedgewood. Under the same lighting conditions, the difference becomes obvious.
The Multi Minerals Australia’s porcelain sample shows a much brighter tone, especially noticeable when set against white paper and light. That extra whiteness matters because it means the end product needs less surface glaze to look clean and refined, and the translucency gives the finished porcelain that almost glowing, delicate effect when thin walls or edges are held up to the light. This is what gives fine porcelain cups or decorative pieces their elegant presence, almost like light itself passes through them.
Applications in Ceramics
Porcelain clay is not restricted to a single art form. It has clinched the competitive advantage owing to durability for high-end tableware, collectible figurines, decorative arts pieces, and even laboratory wares, where purity is imperative.
Being strong is one of its major advantages. To enhance its strength, firing at high temperatures is done compared to earthenware clays that fire at lower temperatures. The porcelain offers a clean surface that is non-staining for functional ware and lends an elegant feel with everyday use.
It is perhaps the best clay for ceramic art.
High Purity
Multi Minerals Australia’s porcelain clay is a unique combination of very high purity, whiteness, translucency, and strength. Its clay is for both beauty and practical uses. Its porcelain blend has superb translucency and whiteness.
