Fire Clay
Al₂O₃·2SiO₂·2H₂O (variable)
Natural refractory clay supplied for fireclay bricks, refractory mortars, and monolithic lining systems.
Overview
Fire clay is a naturally occurring refractory clay mineral with sufficient alumina content to withstand high industrial temperatures. It serves as a plastic binder and filler in fireclay refractory products and as a raw material for chamotte production. Selection is based on refractoriness under load (RUL), alumina content, plasticity, and mineral purity.
