Material Notes:

The 44-B clay is similar to 54-S and is a recommended selection where additional plasticity and strength are important. It is particularly recommended in extruded and plastic processed ceramic formulas such as electrical porcelain and tableware. The 44-B can also be used in monoporosa and monocuttura tile bodies for additional press density and strength especially for a large dimension shapes.Information provided by Old Hickory Clay Company
