Your questions
Before your
first casting.
How does CO221 differ from GE221?
GE221 refers to the plastic clay bodies in Series 221. CO221 is a liquid casting slip with a closely related formula. Always use the documents and working parameters for the reference you have chosen.
How is CO221 supplied?
CO221 is packed in 10 kg buckets. Ask our team or your retailer about availability and ordering.
Do I need to add a deflocculant?
CO221 is already deflocculated at the workshop. If an adjustment is needed for your working conditions, ask our team for advice before making any addition.
How should I choose my firing cycle?
The label indicates 960–980°C for the first firing and 1000–1280°C for the second. Test your pieces and glazes before starting a production batch. Our team can help you work through your requirements.
Where can I find a price and check availability?
