Refractories

Definition: Refractories refer to a class of materials that have high resistance to heat and are capable of withstanding extremely high temperatures, typically above 1,000 degrees Celsius. They are commonly used in various industrial applications, including furnaces, kilns, and reactors.

Examples:

1. The steel industry heavily relies on refractories to line their blast furnaces and ensure efficient heat containment.
2. These refractory bricks are specifically designed to withstand the intense heat in the rotary kiln used for cement production.
3. Refractories play a vital role in the glass manufacturing process by providing insulation and protecting the furnaces from extreme temperatures.
4. The petrochemical industry extensively uses refractories to line their cracking furnaces, which are subjected to extremely high temperatures for the production of various chemicals.
