Energy–Saving Compositions of Masses of Ceramic Tiles from the Raw Material Resources of the Lower Amudarya Region

The article investigates the physical and mechanical properties of ceramic tiles obtained from the raw materials of the Lower Amudarya region of the Republic of Uzbekistan, such as clay of the Kulatau deposit and dune sand of the Tuprakkala massif.

Based on the results of laboratory and pilot production tests, it was found that the obtained unglazed facade and floor tiles based on the developed optimal composition M–7 and glazed facing and facade tiles based on the developed optimal composition M–9, consisting of clay from the Kulatau deposit and dune sand of the Tuprakkala massif in terms of physical and mechanical properties satisfy the established requirements of the relevant GOSTs.
