Abstract. Information about the presence and characteristics of existing deposits of high silica and refractory clay raw materials of the Republic of Uzbekistan is given. It is shown that the main raw materials for the production of silica refractories are veined quartz, quartzites, quartz sands containing not less than 92 wt.% 8i02, and also for packing masses kaolin clays are used, which are promising raw materials. It is established that the studied quartzite rocks are of great interest and are a promising raw material base for the refractory industry of the Republic of Uzbekistan.

Keywords: quartzite, refractories, kaolinite clay, firing, thermomechanical properties, density.
