Material Notes:

The S-4 clay is designed for all types of casting formulas ranging from low fire earthenware to vitreous compositions. It has excellent response to deflocculation and very good casting rate while maintaining plasticity and dry strength qualities. The S-4 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
