※ DK-B’s low shrinkage and high plasticity dramatically reduce the risk of cracking and defects during the forming process, making it highly reliable for sanitaryware applications.

Nature Alone Has Its Limits

The quality of clay minerals varies significantly between upper and lower layers, and characteristics such as impurity content differ depending on the mining location.
For high-end sanitaryware production, the use of refined clay with consistent quality is essential.
Daejin Clay ensures stable performance by precisely blending 8 to 12 types of minerals, delivering uniform quality every time.
