The term pyroplastic is not a dictionary word. But one use located for the term is in pottery making, to mean "the condition of a clay body in the kiln when heated to vitrification."

The similar word pyroclastic refers to rock fragments formed in volcanic eruptions by explosive decompression of magma. The term pyroclastic cloud (aka nuée ardente) is used to decribe a superheated, fluid mass of rock and gas ejected from a volcanic vent.
