The properties of one type of clay from the Orenburg Oblast are considered so as to determine its applications in industry. The mineral and chemical compositions as well as the dispersivity were determined, and an assessment was made of its degree of sintering. It was determined that the Orenburg Oblast clay is basic, with a high content of coloring oxides, and has medium dispersivity, it is moderately plastic, well-dried, and insensitive to desiccation. The mineral composition of the clay was determined. It was found that the main phases are kaolinite, smectite, illite, and quartz. Possible areas of application in the production of ceramic were identified. This clay can be used for the production of ceramic tiles of groups AII (b-1, b-2), AIII, BII (b), and BIII (GOST 13996–2019), ceramic bricks of grade M200 and higher (GOST 530–2012), and ceramic tiles (GOST 56688–2015).
