About Refractory Materials

Refractory materials are heat-resistant materials that are used in the coatings and linings of high-temperature furnaces, incinerators, kilns, and reactors, and as heat-resistant walls. They protect refractory units from corrosion, erosion, heat damage, and oxidation. They are also used in manufacturing crucibles and molds for application in the casting of glass and metals. The flame deflector systems that are used in rocket launch structures also use refractory materials.
