BELDEN RED SHALE CHEMICAL RESISTANT BRICK SPECIFICS.
The basic difference between red shale and buff colored fire clay chemical resistant brick is one of physical
properties rather than chemical. Each kind is equally resistant to acids, alkalis, and solvents except for acid
fluorides and strong hot caustics.
Generally, shale brick is used for applications where thermal shock is not a factor and minimum absorption
is required. Shale brick contains sufficient integral iron to provide high strength and resistance to
abrasion.
On the other hand, the quantity of ambient iron that red shale brick contains may leach out in some
applications involving halogen acid environments. In these cases, our fire clay chemical resistant
brick is recommended.
