Vitrified clay pipes and fittings are produced from the raw materials clay, grog (chamotte) and water. The glaze applied to the products before firing consists of mainly the same basic components plus metallic oxides for colour. The subsequent firing at temperatures rising up to 1200degC creates a completely new material by sintering. This vitrified clay has exceptional properties in respect to chemical resistance, mechanical strength, impermeability and hardness.
