Abstract
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of talc in superwhite porcelain tile bodies. The study was conducted using technological laboratory techniques and analytical techniques such as XRD, XRF and SEM for the mineralogical, chemical and microstructural characterisation of natural and fired materials. This study therefore aims to establish which raw material containing talc is most suitable for use in super-white porcelain tile bodies and to determine the optimal quantity to be added to the body.
