What is refractory clay?

Refractory clay is a common material, also called disordered kaolinite. Its main component is natural aluminum silicate material. It can withstand high temperatures up to 1580°C and has a certain plasticity with water.

What kind of soil is refractory soil

Refractory clay is a kind of high-temperature resistant sand with strong adhesion and refractoriness. It needs to be taken from a specific mountain and then go through steps such as mixing the soil, kneading the mud, making the blanks, and drying them before it can be fired.

The role of refractory clay

Refractory clay itself is a very high-quality material with good thermal stability. It can be used to make hot air furnaces, various boiler linings, flues, smoke chambers, etc., and has a wide range of applications.

The biggest advantage of refractory clay is that it has good high temperature resistance and stable performance. It can be used to make refractory mud, refractory bricks, etc. The disadvantage is that this material is not strong and has no strength, so it can only be used as a filler.

What is refractory soil suitable for?

Refractory clay has little nutritional value, but it has many pores on its surface and has certain air and water permeability. It is most suitable for growing orchids. However, do not use it alone. It is best used in combination with other substrates.
