Name SIO-2 ARGILA  Clay (100% natural pottery clay)   Formula SiO2 (53.53%), Al2O3 (20.50%), Fe2O3 (0.67%), TiO2 (0.98%), CaO (8.58%), MgO (0.30%), Na2O (1.17%), K2O (2.20%), L.O.I (11.63%)   Description SIO-2 ARGILA is a 100% natural pottery clay, very pure and fine milled clay in white color. Its plasticity is well balanced in order to achieve best results during the modeling, drying and firing. The color remains intact after firing (recommended to be fired in a kiln between 970 and 1050ºC)   Extraction Process SIO-2 ARGILA  Clay is a 100% natural product, composed only from clay (chemical analysis shown in Formula) and water   Basic properties   Compressive Strength: 534.000 (non fired) / 25.900.000 (fired) N/m2   Tensile Strength: 0.0101(non fired) / 0.0129 (fired) N/m2   Stiffness:   Density approx.: 1.362 (non fired) / 1.602 (fired) kg/m3   Melting Point: 1.080 oC   Carbon Footprint:   Recyclable: Yes   Laser:   Milling: Yes   3d printing: Yes   Advantage in the context of digital fabrication   1. Economical and easily available 2. High plasticity before firing 3.Capability for  both large, solidified pieces and small ones   Material Suppliers   ANGELA COLLS
