Clay is a chemical composition of minerals, metal oxides and organic dyes known for their hardness and ability to maintain hardness even at high temperatures. With the growing popularity of 3D printing, there is a growing demand for industrial clays which are increasingly being used in the design of 3D models of cars and appliances. Some of the most common industrial clays are the minerals kaolin, bentonite and sepiolite parigolsquite. They are used in many industries such as rubber, catalysts, ceramics, refractories, concrete and paints. Mainly used in coatings of fireplaces, boilers, glass fusing, ceramic furnaces and high temperature furnaces. It is used as a shield for heat generators installed in power plants and houses with chimneys. It is also increasingly used in construction projects to make buildings fireproof..
