Special Announcement-Discontinuation of Talc Production

    R.T. Vanderbilt ceased production of NYTAL and CERAMITALC effective the end of 2008. The RT Vanderbilt Talc products were key components in the manufacturing of low fire ceramic slips and white clays for most slip and clay manufacturers east of the Rockies. Most of the ceramic industry shifted from the RT Vanderbilt Talc to American Talc Company (Van Horn Texas) during 2009. As with any shift in production raw materials there will always be significant changes in the formulation of the finished product that must take place.  Please refer to Dogwood Ceramic Supply's Issues with the New Talc additional trouble shooting information.

   See Ceramic Molds for slip casting molds to be used with Mackie's Ceramic Slip.  Some Molds for Clay, specifically the Sprig, Magnet and Press Molds can also be used with Mackie's Ceramic Slip.
