Green body

Green compact, still moist clay , built up using the bead technique, light gray / light cream burning clay (tile mass, Westerwald masses, 40% fireclay )

In ceramics and in the production of sintered workpieces, a green body or green compact is an unfired or unsintered blank that can still be easily processed. For example, it is pressed ceramic powder, powder glued with binding agents via slip casting or plastic resins that carbonize to carbon during firing . The green bodies are dimensioned in such a way that they almost get their final shape through shrinkage during firing.

In brickworks unfired be clay bricks called green compacts into either brick burned or unburned in earth construction can be used.
