Because there are variables beyond my control (clays, papers, water, mixing errors and etc) always pre test fire what you have before a big project. No guarantee can be offered that 'alternative" commercial paperclays now on the market will meet the all the performance advantages of my high performance trademark P'Clay® brand only available from licensed manufacturers/distributors.

Early Stage Research Water Filtration for A Sustainable Society
48 Page Report 2012 is available
The method used for ceramic water filters has been typically to stir sawdust, rice husks, or other combustibles in the laterite or red terra cotta local clay. After fire these organic materials burn and leave air-pockets and make the fired clay porous. But for the workers, dust from the sawdust used, for example, is not easy to breathe. This water system for paperclay pulp and slurry inhibits dust and saves many steps to streamline clay manufacture too.
