In Tala, Caloocan City, where there are vast deposits of clay, the Tala Foundation Inc. has established the Cardinal Ceramics Plant. The brick-making plant is a socio-economic project of the Foundation aimed at providing employment and additional income while at the same time utilizing the mineral deposits in the vicinity.
Clay Bricks
Materials:
Clay
Sand
Water
Equipment:
spades, hoes and picks
14 mesh screen
wooden scraper
10″ x 5″ x 21/2″ wooden mold
gas kiln
Procedure:
1. Mine the raw clay with the use of spades, hoes and picks.
2. Remove stones and other impurities using a 14 mesh screen.
3. Add water and sand in the proportion of 25% water and 10% sand, by weight.
4. Place the mold on the drying platform Put the clay mixture in the mold and manually wedge the clay. Scrape off the excess clay.
5. Remove the mold and allow the newly made brick (or green brick) to dry at room temperature for 3 to 4 weeks. Turn “green bricks” at regular intervals to prevent warping and cracking.
6. Pre-heat the gas kiln for 2 hours, setting it at 980 C. Stack the bricks in “tie-tricks” formation. Fire for 16 hours.
7. Let the bricks cool completely before using.

My name is Joeng jeeon, vice CEO of Dail-tech company which is doing business in the field of clay and concrete brick making in Korea.
I am looking for a passionate business partner speicialized in making of fired clay brick and selling in PHILLIPINS.
I understand that PHILLIPINS has been suffering from air pollution such as Co2 gas emitted from the process of making burnt clay bricks. And so PHILLIPINS has planned to reduce the use of burnt clay bricks as a building material.
Korean government has been developed the project of providing compressed formed brick making machine to the developing countries such as PHILLIPINS, vietnam, Laos etc free of charge in order to help those nations cope with green house gas increase and to acquire the Co2 credits sourced from transformation of fired burnt clay brick production into compressed clay brick production.
In order for my company to help to spread korean government`s projects into developing countries like Philiipins, at the moment, my company that has been established in 1999 is now searching for the PHILLIPINS companies that want to adopt Korean government project with help and know-how of my company.
If a PHILLIPINS company is selected as my company`s partner, the partner company`s role is to be bleows;
– understanding the korean government`s project after meeting with us in PHILLIPINS
– After understanding fully, introducing us to relevant PHILLIPINS government officers in charge of air pollution
– Through the meeting with PHILLIPINS government officers, we will have the chance to introduce the korean project and to discuss the process of free of charge of compressed brick making machine from korea.
In this due course, you, as our partner, will be shared Co2 credits generated through the conversion of burnt clay brick into compressed clay brick process.
You will be wondered what benefits my company and korean government will have. It is crystal clear that Co2 emission will be greatly reduced through the adoption of compressed clay brick machine. Korean government and our company will get the Co2 credits as a return for providing free of charge brick machines.
In case of Vietnam, this year, 15 clay brick machines was confirmed to be provided to Vietnam burnt clay brick manufacturers.
In this context, our company is like to expand the similar project into your country in 2024.
This letter is to find the relevant partner who is able to both connect us to PHILLIPINS government officers in charge of environment and climate changes and gather clay brick factory owners in PHILLIPINS especially in Decha.
I hope you are the right person I have been looking for.
I really appreciate your help in advance.
If you don't mind, may I know where is the exact address where I can find the Cardinal Ceramics Plant/Brick-making plant? We, 5th year BS Civil Engineering student from Rizal Technological University, are interested to visit and conduct some experiments for our thesis. You will be highly acknowledged for the information.Thank you and I hope to hear from you.
