Brick Industry-Roofing Tiles

Barium carbonate is of enormous usefulness in the manufacture of heavy clay ceramic products because of its property of converting soluble sulfuric salts in the raw material into insoluble barium sulfate. In ceramic raw materials, such soluble sulfates occur primarily in association with calcium, magnesium, sodium, and potassium. In this way barium carbonate can be used to prevent spotting and significantly reduce the tendency for efflorescence to occur. These advantages of barium carbonate make it a popular additive in the heavy clay ceramic industry, for example in the manufacture of clay roof tiles and facing bricks.
