Refractories and high temperature insulation include many different types of ceramic insulation, refractory shapes, and refractory cements.

Ceramic powders and precursors contain oxides, carbides, nitrides, carbon, and other non-metals. They are usually micron or mesh-size in distribution. Ceramic powders, sol-gel solutions and precursors are fabricated through atomization, crushing, milling, precipitation, and other chemical processes.

Industrial ceramic materials are non-metallic, inorganic compounds that include oxides, carbides, or nitrides. They have high melting points, low wear resistance, and a wide range of electrical properties.

Oxide ceramics include alumina, zirconia, silica, aluminum silicate, magnesia and other metal oxide based materials.

Crucibles are vessels used to melt and process materials at high temperatures.

Refractory shapes include recasted, preformed or sintered refractory products that are formed prior to installation in furnaces, boilers or other high temperature equipment. 

Refractory cements and raw materials consist of castables, rams, aggregates and binders that are resistant to high temperatures.

Thermal insulation and fireproofing materials reduce the flow of heat through the thickness of the material. They are typically fiber-based or foam structures prepared from thermally-stable materials.
