A bstract A pyrophyllite containing approximately 15% of sericite is being produced at Hemp, North Carolina. When it is substituted in vitreous bodies for all of the flint or all of the flint and some feldspar, a marked increase in fired strength results, and the shrinkage and absorption properties are not affected by this substitution. The types of bodies studied include electrical porcelain, made by the dry and plastic processes, sanitary ware, vitreous floor tile, and hotel china ware.
