Material Notes:

The FC-340 clay is designed for all types of casting formulas ranging from low fire earthenware to vitreous composition. It has excellent response to deflocculation and a very good casting rate while maintaining plasticity and dry strength qualities. FC-340 can be used as the complete ball clay content in a casting body or used in combination with a fine particle size distribution ball clay to improve the casting properties of the formulation.Information provided by Old Hickory Clay Company
