Ground fireclay, 25 kg each
Price range: 10,00 € through 10,60 €
Ground fireclay is fireclay material that has been ground into fine powder or fine particles. It is usually obtained from fired fireclay which has been heated at high temperatures (around 1400-1600 °C) and then ground to the desired fraction.

Key features:
- High temperature resistance: ground fireclay retains its properties and structure even at very high temperatures.
- Insulating properties: due to its microstructure, ground fireclay is a good heat sink and thermal insulator.
- Chemical resistance: it is resistant to many chemicals and does not harm chemical reactions.
- Resistance to mechanical stress: Although ground fireclay is not as strong as larger pieces of fireclay, it still has good compressive strength.
Applications:
- Refractory mixes – ground fireclay is used in the production of a wide range of refractory concretes and mixes for stoves, chimneys, fireplaces, as well as in the metal and glass industry.
- Ovens and fireplaces – used in masonry or as a material to improve thermal insulation and retain heat.
- Kiln fillers – ground fireclay can be used for fillers that require temperature resistance and chemical stability.
- Fireproofing – used as a thermal insulation material in a wide range of construction and industrial applications to prevent the propagation of heat.
Key advantage:
Ground fireclay is often used because its shape allows it to be better suited to specific functions, such as easier mixing with other materials or providing better thermal and acoustic insulation.
