Abstract

Investigation of ceramic products is presented in the article. It shown that the rubber waste may be used in production of
ceramic. The work contains description of rubber characteristics and also presents physical mechanical properties (dry
and burning contraction, density, compressive strength, water absorption) and structural parameters (total open porosity,
reserve of pore volume) of samples from fusible hydro clays, sand, crushed bricks and foaming mass that 5 % and 10 %
of rubber waste. The influence of rubber additive on the mentioned properties of ceramic samples has been determined.
