Ceramic Mix Based on Pyroxenite and Low-Melting Clay

Resumo

The pyroxenite-based composition of low-shrinkage ceramics based on pyroxenite was developed. The native components used in the ceramic mix, including pyroxenite and low-melting clay as well as additionally added cullet, make it possible to obtain ceramics with the primary crystalline phase — augite — and to obtain low shrinkage and high strength. Due to the high mechanical strength the pyroxenite-based ceramic mix can be used for to obtain facing and façade tiles.
