This work discusses the rheological features of engobe coatings for ceramic brick. With the correct choice of rheological parameters, the engobe coating is well matched to the ceramic base andallows to improve the aesthetic and operational properties of the brick. The requirements for the rheological parameters of engobe suspensions are formulated. This will help to avoid such defects as cracking and chipping of the coating, exposure of the product surface, formation of craters and specks. The influence of the mineralogical and particle size distribution of suspensions on their sedimentation resistance has been determined. The suspensions containing at least 70 wt.% of particles up to 10 µm have high sedimentation resistance. At the same time, the content of fractions with a size of 10-60 µm can reach up to 30 wt% without signs of suspension stratification. These can be achieved with a clay content of at least 65 wt%. A graphical model has been developed that reflects the simultaneous effect of clay, water and deflocculant (rheotane) on the fluidity of engobe suspensions. This model allows egulate the rheology of engobe suspensions when one or more factors change. To achieve a fluidity engobe suspension containing 65 wt% clay, its moisture content should be 43-43.5 wt% and the amount of rheotane should be 0.21 wt%. With such parameters, the suspension has high sedimentation resistance, a fluidity of 14-17 s, good coating ability and high adhesive strength of the coating. After firing, a coating with a thickness of 140-180 microns, with a Mohs hardness of more than 7, and no signs of any defects, was obtained on the surface of ceramic brick samples. The research results can be applied to the development of engobes and glazes in the production of ceramic bricks and tiles.
