Clay Products – An Eco-Friendly Way To Save The Environment.
Clay- the principal material of pottery is not only eco-friendly but also has aesthetically pleasing properties when molded into something useful. Its two distinctive features are its plasticity and ability to harden in fire, giving it a brittle structure and making it a suitable agent for decorative arts and other useful items like earthenware. One of the essential properties of clay that makes it a desirable choice for pottery is its ability to stay unreactive to organic acids and materials that corrode the metals.
Modeling clay into creative art is a fun activity for not only children but adults as well. Molding and sculpting it into various shapes and objects give a different level of satisfaction. Besides this, there are a wide variety of structural clay products that can be broadly classified as load-bearing materials, falling materials, roofing tiles materials, paving materials, and chemically resistant materials.
