Acid resistant refractory

The COB chimney lining is of acid resistant construction, which consists of high density acid resistant
fireclay brick laid up with acid resistant mortars. Acid resistant brick are usually made by the stiff mud
process and are high fired so as to have low porosity (6 % to 11 %) and permeability. Acid resistant
mortars are generally potassium and sodium silicate bonded fireclay aggregate. Ambient temperature levels
are critical for good acid resistant construction. Mortars generally will not cure at temperatures below 13
deg C.
