Basic brick are composed of basic oxides and are resistant to basic slags, oxides, dusts and fumes at high operating temperatures in a variety of steel and general industrial applications. Resco classifies high alumina brick as those containing more than 45% alumina. They are resistant to spalling, impact, abrasion and load.

Classes of brick produced include:

Burned magnesite	Burned fused magnesite-chrome
Direct-bonded magnesite-chrome	Direct-bonded chrome-magnesite
Chemically-bonded magnesite-chrome	Chemically-bonded magnesite
Magnesite-spinel	Burned magnesite tar impregnated
Magnesite-carbon	Alumina-magnesite-graphite
Burned high-alumina 50%	Burned high-alumina 60%
Burned high-alumina 70%	Burned high-alumina 80-85%
Burned high-alumina 90-99%	Phosphate-bonded high-alumina
Burned alumina-chrome	Burned chrome-alumina

These products are produced at Resco's plants in Hammond, IN, Grenville, Ontario, East Canton, OH and Greensboro, NC from raw materials selected for their contribution to the consistent quality, properties and sizing of the end products coming off the presses and through the kilns.

These brick are manufactured in a wide range of standard and special shapes and sizes for particular applications. Because of the unique operating conditions and diverse wear mechanisms, selection of specific products is critical to achieving cost-effective performance. Resco's technical specialists normally handle specific application areas and are very familiar with customer conditions and requirements.

The pursuit of ever-increasing performance and cost inprovement is ongoing at Resco. We will continue to focus attention on details required for successful product selection, installation and evaluation.
