Introduction to our
overview
Insulating Fire Brick Products
Insulating Fire Bricks (IFB) are specifically designed to
solve heat containment challenges for industries as diverse
as ceramic ware, hobby kiln manufacturers and primary
aluminium producers.
Thermal Ceramics Insulating Fire Bricks
(IFB) range includes:
● Insulating refractory bricks, special shapes and concrete
refractory dense and insulating materia
Insulating Fire Bricks, features include...
● Energy saving benefits
● Lower operating costs
● Excellent strength at ambient and elevated temperatures
● High compressive strength
● Every brick ground to precise dimensions
● Very low levels of iron and other impurities (especially
for resistance to reducing atmosphere conditions)
● Lightweight, energy-saving nature results in less heat
loss, and allows for thinner furnace linings
● Lower heat storage than denser refractories
● Available in custom designed shapes upon request
