Façade clay bricks

Calcitec® is used for façade clay brick production, as clay has compounds of silica, alumina, feldspar, and iron oxides. So, it will burn to a brown, pink or red brick, depending on the amount of iron oxide in the clay. The presence of Calcitec® in the mix will change a brick’s color to a yellow or cream color. This can be corrected by using coloring agents to achieve a broad color portfolio of trendy bricks.
