Despite its high chamotte content (40%), a carefully selected clay blend gives this body exceptional dry-bending strength — meaning your built pieces hold their shape without cracking as they dry. The fine chamotte grain (0–0.5 mm) keeps the surface smooth while still providing the structural stability you need for complex forms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eProperty\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFiring colour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWhite to light cream\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFiring range\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1000°C – 1260°C\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChamotte\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e40% (0–0.5 mm grain, fine)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDry shrinkage (110°C)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFiring shrinkage @ 1070°C\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFiring shrinkage @ 1140°C\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFiring shrinkage @ 1200°C\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFiring shrinkage @ 1240°C\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWater absorption @ 1070°C\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWater absorption @ 1140°C\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWater absorption @ 1200°C\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWater absorption @ 1240°C\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCTE (20–500°C @ 1240°C)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e62 × 10⁻⁷ °C⁻¹\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBest For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHand building, modelling, medium to large sculptural pieces.
