For the production of vertically perforated bricks with very good thermal insulation properties it is necessary to increase porosity of ceramic body. The most effective way to achieve this is the addition of organic substances into the clay mass. During the firing process combustion of these substances occures, leaving behind a large number of fine pores and thus drastically reducing the thermal conductivity of bricks. This paper provides an overview of the most widely used organic pore forming additives for bricks production.
