A method for providing improved compaction, green density, green strength and surface finish properties in simulated stone and mineral-like materials from ceramic green bodies, based on addition of selected polymer additives during ceramic processing, is disclosed. Polymer additives having weight-average molecular weights from 30,000 to 1,000,000, glass transition temperatures from -50 to +90 DEG C, and low hygroscopicity are particularly useful in providing enhanced properties of ceramic products involving processing of large-size granule intermediates. |
