    Technical Details & Test Data

    Technical Details

    These are proprietary products that are specifically designed for ‘scum-control’ in the brick & tile manufacturing process. “Scum” is the term used to describe the white, chalky substance that forms on the surface of brick or tile as the result of migration of soluble salts, such as calcium sulfate or magnesium sulfate, from the interior of the clay body during drying.  Micro-Flo® & Aqua-Flo™ react with soluble salts in the clay to form insoluble compounds which cannot migrate to the surface of the ware during drying.  The chemical formula for one such reaction is as follows:

    BaCO3 + CaSO4  →  BaSO4 + CaCO3
