GCI AR Bricks

Globe Acid Resistant Brick complies with ASTM C279 TYPE III, ASTM C410 TYPE H, L, & INDIAN STANDARD 4860-1982 CLASS I for use where lower absorption and higher acid resistance are required. Industrial red shale or fire clay brick, resistant to acid, alkalis, solvents, high mechanical and thermal stress.

Acid Resistance Tiles are manufactured in different thickness and are used as per the requirement. The shape and size of brick other than standard shall be agreed between purchaser and the manufacturer.

Features

Excellent resistant against wide range of chemicals except hydrofluoric acid having high abrasion resistance, low wearing properties, High Thermal resistant to sudden change in temperature.

Storage & Shelf Life

Tiles are to be stored away from water/rain water since dampness on the bricks affects the bonding of the acid proof cements.

Health & Safety

While lifting and carrying the Bricks, care should be taken that the corners /edges do not cut/damage hands..
