An investigation of sodium silicate added malaccan red clay for slip casting process

The development of local pottery industries in any area is dependent on the availability of a high quality local clay resource. This study explores the possibility of using Malaccaoriginated clay to replace Sayong clay in producing ceramic pottery using slip casting technique. Red clay from Kampu...

Optimum sintering temperature on test samples was determined by water absorption and firing shrinkage measurement. Optimum dispersant dosage was 0.30 wt %.
