About Refractory Shapes

Refractory shapes include precast cement and fused or sintered refractory products that are formed prior to installation in furnaces, boilers or other high temperature equipment. Refractories are hard, heat-resistant materials and products such as alumina, silicon carbide, fire clay, bricks, precast shapes, cement or monolithics and ceramic kiln furniture.  Ceramics and refractories have high melting points are suitable for applications requiring wear resistance, high temperature strength, electrical or thermal insulation or other specialized characteristics. Some examples of precast refractory shapes include bricks, catalyst supports, checker walls, degassers, furnace liners, nozzles and spargers.

Refractory bricks, blocks, and tiles are refractory shapes that are stacked to form insulating furnaces, boilers or other thermal process vessel walls. Typically, refractory bricks are cemented together with refractory mortar. Refractory shapes also include catalyst supports, which often consist of porous structures with large surface areas, or honeycomb structures that hold a metal catalyst providing easy exposure to a stream of reactive gases or other reactants.
