Exhibition Clay

Who hasn't slipped in the mud and got dirty? Geologically speaking, it's a simple process: when water is absorbed, the clay minerals in the soil swell like an accordion and become malleable. If the water is lost again during drying, the clay shrinks. Text panels and interesting showpieces explain the special features of clay and its many uses in our everyday lives, as well as the occurrence and facts about the demand for raw materials in Austria. Research focuses on low-carbonate clays for the production of climate-friendly bricks. The exhibition is open to the public around the clock. Further information can be found in the folders and project websites linked below on the subject of clay raw materials.
