Lightweight Insulating Fire Bricks
Lightweight Insulating Fire Bricks are made from high-purity refractory clay and alumina, with an appropriate amount of organic fillers added. These organic fillers are burned off during the production process, resulting in a uniform pore structure. For different temperature ratings, the amount of alumina added increases with the rating.
Lightweight insulating fire bricks are lightweight and have low heat storage capacity. They also have high and uniform porosity, providing excellent insulation. They are suitable for temperatures ranging from 900°C to 1550°C.
Conforming to ASTM standards, the AB series utilizes hollow alumina spheres and alumina powder with a composite binder, which is vibrated and fired at high temperatures. Lightweight insulating fire bricks offer excellent high-temperature performance and can be safely used at temperatures up to 1550°C.
Product Features
Low thermal conductivity and excellent insulation allow for thinner furnace walls.
Low heat capacity, lightweight, and low thermal conductivity allow for minimal heat storage within the bricks, significantly reducing energy consumption in intermittently operated furnaces.
Precise dimensions and high machining accuracy ensure consistent brick joints.
