Abstract
The data of geological expeditions prospecting argillaceous materials in various parts of Russia are summarized. The data on the chemical composition and the main technological (ceramic) characteristics of currently operated clay deposits in Russia are analyzed. A conclusion is made of the expedience of testing refractory clays from the Latnenskoe and Troshkovskoe deposit in the insulator industry. The expedience of continuing research on white-burning refractory clays in the eastern part of the Leningrad Region is demonstrated.
