MAJOLICAS (LOW TEMPERATURE)
Within this product line we also include various compositions of white earthenware, which has a recommended firing temperature of between 1000º and 1050ºC. These materials are supplied in spray dried powder, slip casting and plastic mass.
They have suitable porosity for general use in twice firing processes and allow all types of decorations: underglaze, onglaze, decals, gold, lustre, etc.
We use updated and optimised versions of the ancient limestone majolica tiles that have been made for centuries in the city of Manises, which is world renowned for its quality in ceramic production.
Due to the diversity in the composition of the ceramic bodies, it is able to be customized and therefore can meet various requirements depending on plasticity, porosity, whiteness, etc.

STONEWARE
Stoneware is produced through a mixture of clays and materials, such as silica or feldspar. Once fired, its main characteristics are its hardness and low water absorption.
Depending on its chemical composition it has a firing range of 1200°C to 1300°C.

PORCELAIN
Traditionally white, porcelain is compact, resistant, translucent, waterproof and highly resistant to chemical and thermal shock. Porcelain is used to manufacture various products such as tableware, lamps, sculptures and decorative products.
It is also used in industrial applications, including insulators and electro porcelain. Check out our Technical Ceramics catalog to find out more. Over the years and thanks to our R+D+i, we have achieved brilliant white porcelain as well as optimised glazes for them.
