White Paste
The white paste is made from a mixture of mainly imported raw clay materials and degreasers, with a final iron oxide content of less than 2% by weight.
With these raw materials which normally require a superior grade of milling, and with burned pigments, we produce our whole range of porcelain stoneware and wall covering products.

Coloured porcelain stoneware
This is manufactured by adding ceramic pigment to the white porcelain stoneware compositions described above; it therefore has the same technical features and applications.
