Notes
Ground to 200 mesh, this is a refractory plastic smooth tan burning very smooth plastic clay with kaolin-like working properties. Although referred to as a fireclay, it bloats by cone 11. It is yellowish in the raw state.
To formulate a substitute for Newman fireclay we mixed this 50:50 with Carbondale Red and added 15% silica and made a body containing 50% Newman. The results showed that this mix has less color than Newman and is quite a bit more vitreous. Much more silica will be needed to cut the maturity and this will result in loss of color making the addition of iron necessary.
