MANUFACTURING
PROCESS CAST BASALT CERAMIC
CASTING YES YES
ISOPRESSING NO YES
COMPACTING NO YES
From the above it is clearly seen that Ceramic has got superior mechanical & abrasion
resistant strength.Particularly one of the greatest deficiency in Cast Basalt is that it has to be
manufactured by Casting process ONLY.
In casting process there can be hidden voids caused due air entrapment leading to hollow
bricks.
In compaction method ,spray dried powder having uniform particle size is pressed into a tile
in a die.Thus we ensure that there are no voids in the tiles.
