Abstract
The research project will allow to understand furthermore the operation of physical mechanism of clay adherence to sand and lime during the process of kneading, drying and firing in manufacturing ceramics, in order to lead to a contribution to the theory that explains the interactions of both phases and how they work to achieve mechanical properties and little absorption, important requirements for the quality of these products, some of them structural. Raw material is obtained from deposits that are used to manufacture ceramics in the Western and Eastern Regions of Paraguay. The importance of this theory is that this traditional ceramic material will be studied again which like advanced ceramic materials deserve new technological treatments and theories that explain or describe better the behavior of the mechanism of union between particles that make up the raw material. Here it is provided results from XRD and SEM, as other tests carried out to have a better approach to understand the final grain composition of the former raw materials now turned ceramic
