Insulating firebricks

Insulating firebricks are used to insulate floors, roofs and walls. They have good thermal shock resistance and, thanks to their excellent hot properties, can be used in many areas.

Typical applications

  • Metal and steel industry (melting furnaces, blast furnaces)
  • Ceramics industry (hearth and tunnel kilns)
  • Cement industry
  • Porcelain industry
  • Glass industry
