The effectiveness of refractory products made of new improved refractory materials is achieved if, during their installation and repair, a masonry composition is used, the properties of which provide a similar level of heat resistance in the aggressive environment of the electrolyzer as the material of the products. The article establishes the optimal component composition of the masonry mixture for the installation of the lining of a magnesium diaphragm electrolyzer made of potassium fluorphlogopite. It has been proven that the ratio of the mass fraction of fluorine-containing components to the rest of the mass is an indicator that allows characterizing the suitability of masonry mixtures for the installation and repair of products made of potassium fluorphlogopite.
