    What is biscuit ceramic<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    It is a term used in ceramics to refer to the clay that has been baked once<\/strong>. The temperature is lower than the final firing in which it will be enameled or glazed. This process is a crucial intermediate step<\/strong> in the creation of ceramic pieces. It is also called ceramic bisque.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The biscuit phase is essential because it provides a solid and porous structure that facilitates the application and adhesion of the enamel, and prevents the deformation of the piece during the enamel<\/a> and final firing, thus ensuring the quality and durability of the finished ceramic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Features<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Porosity and Hardness<\/strong>: After this first firing at the temperature for ceramic bisque, the piece becomes porous and somewhat harder than raw clay, but is still softer than fully vitrified ceramic. This porosity is important because it allows the glaze to adhere better in the next step of the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Ideal for Enameling<\/strong>: Once the piece is fired, it is ready to be glazed. The porosity of the bisque allows the glaze, which is basically a form of powdered glass mixed with a liquid medium, to soak into the surface before the second firing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In addition, the piece is more resistant to deformation than raw clay, which facilitates handling during the glazing process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Therefore, this intermediate state of the ceramic serves as a canvas for different decoration techniques, such as the application of glazes, ceramic paints, and other forms of surface art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
