Refractory Materials Industry

Binder and additive supply for refractory bricks, castables and ceramic kiln furniture with controlled impurity levels.

Process Nodes

Key stages of the industry process and the chemicals involved

01

Batching & Mixing

Boric acid and borax act as medium-low temperature binders and fluxes, improving body strength and lowering sintering temperature.

02

Bonding & Curing

Phosphate binders such as STPP and SHMP serve phosphate-bonded castables with mid-high temperature bonding strength.

Sodium Tripolyphosphate → Sodium Hexametaphosphate
03

High-Temperature Service

Components like TSPP improve thermal shock resistance and structural integrity, extending kiln lining service life.

FAQ

What role does boric acid play in refractories?
Boric acid acts as a flux and binder in medium-low temperature firing, promoting densification while lowering sintering temperature and shortening firing cycles.
Which castables suit phosphate binders?
STPP and SHMP are used in phosphate and aluminum phosphate bonded castables for mid-high temperature wear linings with high bonding strength and good thermal shock resistance.
Do you offer low-iron grades?
Yes. For Fe2O3-sensitive refractory applications we provide low-iron grades with test data and customization per your samples.
MOQ and packing?
Standard 25kg woven bags with 500kg/1000kg jumbo bags available; stock ships in 3-5 working days.
