The sintering of whiteware (porcelain) body can be affected by using fluxing agents or binders. The chapter describes the sintering process of porcelain body in case of different fluxing agent (different feldspar rocks, bone ash, zeolite) and binder (kaolin vs. calcium aluminate cement) utilization in the porcelain raw material mixture. Sintering process is presented according to thermodilatometrical curves and sintering temperatures especially.
