N2  - Large-sized products are casted by using FFC (fine fire clay) in ceramic sanitarywares production. Along with developing in the technology, high-pressure casting systems are increasingly common in forming processes. Depending on increasing in high-pressure systems, there is an increase in the use of FFC.  One of the main raw materials in FFC production is fireclay. In Turkish ceramic sanitaryware production, fireclay is used in ratio of 30 % wt. in receipts. However, fireclay is mostly imported from foreign country. Fireclay is composed of 50 % mullite, 5 % cristobalite, 5 % corundum and 40 % amorphous phase. As fireclay is a semi-finished and fired raw material, it provides strength for FFC bodies. The aim of this study is to develop materials, which provide more strength and lower cost for ceramic sanitarywares production and will be produced in Turkey, instead of fireclay. Thus, there will be able to provide increase in competitiveness with foreign manufacturers. Also, it is considered that this material will bring a significant amount of incomes with producing and exporting of this material. Now, lack of such a raw material in international market is important too.
