Hello everyone, I would like to thank all the forum participants for sharing valuable information from their experiences and expertise it made me excited to build my own pizza oven. I started looking for the materials needed for the 3:1:1:1 formula.
For cement i found ordinary Portland cement
For lime i found hydrated lime @ 90% purity
For silica sand i found it @ 98% purity. From what i understand it should be washed sand and for mortar i should use fine sand for casting should be coarse right?
For pp fibers I found it @ 12 mm Length and a thickness of 18 μm or 34 μm
My problem is with the clay, The supplier for clay have 4 types Red Clay, Kaolin, Washed Kaolin ( Low in iron ) and the fourth type is only labeled as clay, The all have different composition for example low or High iron.
I told him I need a clay that is called ( Fire Clay ) he did not know it, So I got the composition of each type of clay from them, I ask anyone who understands clay to please see the attached pictures and tell me which one of them is considered fire clay. Thank you all for your help much appreciated.
