hina clay converts to mullite and glass when fired to temperatures exceeding 1000° C. It is used in formulations described as whitewares, which consists of tableware, sanitaryware, and wall and floor tiles. It provides strength and plasticity in the shaping of these products and reduces the amount of pyroplastic deformation in the process of firing.

tableware, in addition to the strength and plastic qualities, it is essential to the achievement of high fired whiteness. This is because it contains a low content of colouring elements such as iron and titanium.
