The results of studies on the preparation of wall tiles from pyrophyllite with silicate and phosphatic binders, with or without addition of fluxing agents are presented. Reduction in grinding, drying and firing energies are achieved by making use of softer materials and dry blending followed by compaction and low temperature firing respectively. The process is amenable for fast firing schedules.
