AB - This paper examines the main characteristics of a clay used for manufacturing
ceramic construction parts in the metropolitan area of San José de Cúcuta. The research
was conducted using a sample of reddish clay of the Guayabo formation from the Zulia region
in Norte de Santander. The material was ground by dry process and the suitable procedure
for the preparation for the development of characterization analysis was performed as X-ray
diffraction (XRD), X-ray fluorescence (XRF), particle sizes by dry sieving and technical 152H
hydrometer. Their clay/quartz relationship, plasticity and behaviour in the process of drying
and firing were determined. The forming process used was extrusion. The research results
showed that the material is suitable for making structural and coating products for floors and
walls, in addition to shedding excellent properties for manufacturing refractory products.
