What material are bricks made of?

Bricks are generally made of clay and other inorganic materials by heating.

As a natural material, clay has excellent durability and strong compressive, flexural and shear resistance.

In addition, other inorganic materials, such as oxides of aluminum, calcium and manganese, are usually added to improve the physical properties of bricks.

When clay is heated to about 1200℃, melting and modification reactions will occur, so that people can obtain the desired physical properties.

Now the production technology of bricks has also been improved, and some bricks have added pigments to improve strength, reduce energy consumption and resist leakage.

In addition, there are new bricks such as lightweight energy-saving bricks and foam bricks, which have higher heat insulation effect and are more environmentally friendly and energy-saving.
