This research presents the results of an experimental investigation carried out to study the technological basics of a new material characterised by its high compressive strength and its resistance to acids. One hundred and thirteen cylindrical 45 x 30 mm samples with height to diameter ratio of 1.5 were prepared by mixing suitable ratios of quartz sand and phosphoric acid, burned in a furnace to temperatures between 800-1400° C for 2 hours. On the basis of test results gathered from this study, a new silica-phosphate material is suggested.
