national industry 327120

Clay Building Material and Refractories Manufacturing

Overview

This industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in shaping, molding, baking, burning, or hardening clay refractories, nonclay refractories, ceramic tile, structural clay tile, brick, and other structural clay building materials. A refractory is a material that will retain its shape and chemical identity when subjected to high temperatures and is used in applications that require extreme resistance to heat, such as furnace linings.

The immediate parent of national industry 327120 is international industry 32712: Clay Building Material and Refractories Manufacturing
