This is a study on the effect of adding various materials to a clay with the aim of improving the technological characteristics and removing the baking process. The results of a standard pulp are compared with the values of different formulations, properties such as bulk density by mercury intrusion, index pressability, the mechanical performance and physical properties are improved. The results showed that adding these materials to produce clay increases flexural strength between 16,9% and 35,5% and a reduction in dry construction around 8,3%, being F7 the formulation that performed best. These data contribute to the development of ceramic products with added value to be used in various technological applications without sintered material and reducing the energy consumption and pollution that these processes produce.
