| The characteristics of raw materials sourced from Gulf countries
(viz., Saudi Arabia and Turkey) used in formulation of fast single
fired wall tile body (monoporosa) have been described. The
results of pilot level investigation on five different bodies have
been given. The test results with glaze have also been included.
Based on the properties of material produced, the final composition
was selected for semi-industrial tests. After obtaining satisfactory
results, commercial production was taken up. |
