Abstract

A glass forming compound having in its melted glass phase the formula Si.sub.2 AlO (PO.sub.4).sub.3 or 4 SiO.sub.2.Al.sub.2 O.sub.3.3P.sub.2 O.sub.5 is provided together with grain mixtures for producing refractory thermally insulating bricks adapted for use in the preheating zone of a rotary cement kiln operating in an atmosphere containing alkali chlorides, particularly KCl. The bricks develop a glass layer on the kiln exposed face thereof which resists penetration by alkalis, particularly KCl.
