The plasticity values of ceramic mixtures is a very important topic, since it affects the values and features of the mix and therefore the proper development of the ceramic production process.

In general, the use of clays marked by high plasticity values is usually synonymous with easier process management. However, high-performing clays are not always available and it is therefore important to keep in mind other production parameters, finding a balance or good compromises.

After a short definition of this physical property, the episode offers a general overview on the issue. Not only in relation to tiles production.
