High-Durability Brick for Heavy Industrial Use

What Is a Resistant Brick?

Acid-resistant bricks are specially manufactured ceramic bricks built to withstand exposure to strong acids, alkalis, and corrosive chemicals. These bricks are widely used in aggressive industrial environments, especially where conventional construction materials would fail under chemical attack. Manufactured from high-grade raw materials like fireclay and feldspar and fired at elevated temperatures, acid-resistant bricks offer exceptional mechanical strength along with chemical inertness

These bricks are widely used in diverse industrial applications such as:

• Chemical manufacturing plants
• Acid storage tanks
• Fertilizer units
• Electroplating areas
• Food processing units
• Power plants and thermal stations
• Pickling tanks and laboratories

Manufacturing Process

Mixing & Molding: The raw mix is prepared and formed into bricks using hydraulic presses.

Drying: The molded bricks are dried under controlled conditions to eliminate moisture.

High-Temperature Firing: Bricks are fired in kilns at temperatures ranging between 1200°C to 1400°C, ensuring vitrification.

Quality Testing: Each batch undergoes testing for acid resistance, compressive strength, and dimensional accuracy.

Installation Guidelines

To ensure optimal performance, installation should follow proper chemical lining techniques:

• Surface Preparation: Clean and level the substrate.
• Lining Material: Use acid-proof mortar like silicate-based or resin-based adhesives.
• Brick Laying: Lay bricks with staggered joints and tight bonding to reduce chemical seepage.
• Curing: Allow the mortar to cure adequately before exposing it to harsh chemicals.
• Joint Sealing: Finish joints with a protective layer of chemical-resistant compound.
