Raw materials and key compounds for technical and traditional ceramics
We work with a carefully selected range of high-quality ceramic materials designed to deliver performance, stability, and precision in every process. From essential components to advanced compounds, each material plays a specific role in enhancing bodies, glazes, and firing results. Discover their properties and applications to optimize your ceramic work.
What it is
It is a chemical compound containing barium. It appears as a white powder.
Use in ceramics
It is mainly used to neutralize soluble salts in clays, preventing white stains or efflorescence after firing. It can also act as a flux in some high-temperature glazes.
What it is
A highly stable mineral compound, rich in zirconium, with high heat resistance.
Use in ceramics
It is used as an opacifier in glazes, producing white, opaque finishes. It increases wear resistance and glaze stability at high temperatures. It is very common in industrial and sanitary ceramics.
What it is
Finely milled zirconium with a very fine particle size.
Use in ceramics
Similar to zirconium silicate, but with higher purity. It is used to opacify glazes, improve whiteness, and increase chemical resistance. Widely used in porcelain and technical ceramics.
What it is
Zirconium in granular form, coarser than zirconium flour.
Use in ceramics
It is used in refractory molds, special engobes, and pieces with high thermal resistance. It provides dimensional stability and resistance to thermal shock.
What they are
Iron compounds that can appear red, black, brown, or yellow depending on their chemical state.
Use in ceramics
They work as colorants in bodies, engobes, and glazes. They produce red, brown, ochre, and black tones. They also act as secondary fluxes in high-temperature glazes.
What they are
Very pure white clays with a high content of alumina and silica.
Use in ceramics
A fundamental base of porcelain. They provide plasticity, whiteness, and mechanical strength. They help keep glazes in suspension and control their application.
What they are
Aluminas are high-purity aluminum oxides. They appear as very fine white powders and have an extremely high melting point, great hardness, and chemical stability.
Use in ceramics
They are used to increase the mechanical and thermal resistance of bodies and glazes. In glazes, they increase viscosity, preventing excessive running during firing. They improve durability, scratch resistance, and chemical resistance. They are widely used in technical ceramics, porcelain, refractories, and high-temperature glazes.
