SIO-2® ARGILA is a 100% natural pottery clay. Easy and pleasant to work with. Ideal for modelling, sculpture and throwing on a potter's wheel.
Suitable for children's use. It is a very adequate didactic material in the development of manual dexterity and creativity. Recommended for crafts and creative arts, as well as for many other applications where a natural clay is needed.
It is a very pure and finely ground clay. It features excellent plasticity for best performance during modelling. Once the piece is made, it is left to dry in the air. Once dry, it is recommended to fire it in a ceramic kiln (between 970 and 1050ºC) and decorate with ceramic glazes.

Storage: Protect ceramic clay bodies from direct sunlight, avoiding excessive temperature changes and protect from frost.
Use: Technical details are available with information on the characteristics of each product and its use. It is recommended to test clay body prior to large scale use in order to verify suitability in both the ceramic process (shaping, drying, firing and decoration) and the final application that is expected to be obtained.
Safety: All SIO-2® clay bodies are certified by the Art & Creative Materials Institute (ACMI) and conform to ASTM D-4236 safety guidelines.
