Refractory Products and Applications

Because of their high temperature stability, refractory products serve as essential parts of heating furnaces, reactors and transport vessels that are often exposed to temperatures well above 1,000°C and environments that are corrosive, erosive, abrasive and/or thermal-mechanically stressed.  Industries served include metal, glass, ceramic and gas-solid processing.  Our products come in aggregate form as well as a variety of shapes and sizes such as lining bricks, hollow tubes, nozzles, support stands, plates (solid or with opening), rollers and crucibles.  Custom shapes and sizes are available.  Chemical compatibility, ceramic phase structure and physical properties of our refractory products such as density, porosity, non-wettability to molten metal, mechanical strength and stability are tailored by state-of-the-art composition and preparation method for specific application.

Table below highlights some typical applications, properties required of the refractory products and the main material(s) that make up the composition.
