Begur Pink Porcelain (5kg) 1200-1240C

About

BEGUR is a porcelain that stands out for its pink tone when fired, inspired by the characteristic hues of the Costa Brava granite. It offers high plasticity, making it ideal for wheel throwing and hand modelling. Its formula is very stable and allows a safe firing range between 1200 and 1240 ºC (oxidising atmosphere). Suitable for tableware (food-safe), according to ISO 6486. Available in extruded body (moist form). Supplied in a 5 kg cylindrical format in a carton box.

Available in the United States and Canada. ACMI AP Seal. Conforms to ASTM D-4236.

(*) Firing range recommended for the clay to develop its best performance, both in terms of technical and safety characteristics, under conventional firing conditions. The colour samples may show temperatures outside the recommended range to provide a broader view, but these are pieces fired under controlled conditions. Cone equivalence according to Orton table for self-supporting cones, regular-SSB and 150ºC/hr heating rate.
