What Makes Terracotta a Sturdy Building Material?

What Makes Terracotta a Sturdy Building Material?

Terracotta panel is 100% natural, and it is made from natural clay and processed with high-temperature firing work. As a result, the finished terracotta products are strong enough with high breaking strength to avoid being broken under high wind load circumstance.

Terracotta products come with excellent performance in physical properties.
  1. According to a study launched by Jiangsu University of Technology, terracotta panel has modulus of rupture up to 16-20 MPa. Not only does the terracotta with high modulus of rupture, but also it is a safe material with good earthquake resistance performance than the traditional cladding materials such as stone, glass, and metal.
  2. The study also shows that terracotta product has low coefficient of thermal expansion as 2-5x10-6/and can have a good thermal shock resistance performance and prove that terracotta with good fire-proof performance.
  3. In the simulation seismic test, terracotta product achieved result by surviving the simulated earthquake measuring 10 degrees. Also, terracotta can go without damage even when impacted by wind load up to 10 KPa.
  4. There are also test reports on impact resistance, young’s modulus, shear modulus, poisson’s ratio and etc for your reference if needs be.
