The recipe of that clay comes from the Apache descent, Felipe Ortega, placed in New Mexico, and it reproduce the old tradition of micaceous clay pottery over 400 years ago.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is composed of red clays with a low thermal expansion coefficient, which provide high resistance to thermal shock (maximum resistance when fired at 950 ºC). In addition, it contains an abundant mica matrix that gives it elasticity and a highly distinctive, recognizable finish. Its original Apache character is achieved after wood firing. Available in extruded body (moist form). \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFiring range*:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e920-1000 ºC \/ Cone 08-06\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eWater content: 24 %\u003cbr\u003ePlasticity (IP Atterberg): 23\u003cbr\u003eCarbonate content (CaCO3): 0.0 %\u003cbr\u003eDrying shrinkage: 4.5 %\u003cbr\u003eFiring shrinkage 950 ºC: -0.3 %\u003cbr\u003ePorosity (water absorption) at 950 ºC: 17.0 %\u003cbr\u003eDry bending strength: 5.4 N\/mm2\u003cbr\u003eFired bending strength 950 ºC: 20.3 N\/mm2\u003cbr\u003eThermal coefficient 950 ºC (25-500 ºC): 56.2x10^-7 ºC^-1\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecommendations for glaze use\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDue to the low thermal expansion coefficient of the body, glazes may craze.
