The research of raw base for construction materials allows theoretically justifying and experimentally confirming the ability to control the processes of structure formation in order to obtain materials with the desired properties. Clay matter has a complicated chemical and mineral composition. In recent decades the structures and properties of clay minerals have been investigated in detail with the help of modern research methods. Out of the whole quantity of clay deposits the production sector uses only the small part, which satisfies the standard technical documents in force. In case of using non-traditional clay rocks in the production of wall materials it is possible to cross over from traditional raw materials to another - composite binder, obtained on the basis of natural nanodispersed raw material, which helps to speed up neoformation synthesis, change their morphology, optimize microstructure of cementing compounds and consequently improve physical and mathematical properties of the products. Using non-traditional for construction industry clay rocks in the production of silicate materials increases the strength of raw-brick 4...11 times, which facilitates the production of high cavitated product and significantly expands the range of products.
