High strength and uniform shape. CECEBE HP packing is made through a slip casting process which produces saddles of uniform shape within a narrow range of size tolerance high strength and uniform shape. CECEBE HP packing is made through a slip casting process which produces saddles of uniform shape within a narrow range of size tolerances. High-quality clay of specially formulated chemical composition and controlled grain size distribution is used resulting in a saddle with very high crush strength and very low porosity
