Glass Industry

Refractory insulation materials are essential for maintaining energy efficiency and process stability in glass manufacturing. These solutions line melting furnaces, annealing lehrs, and forming equipment, ensuring precise temperature control during molten glass processing. High-temperature stability minimizes heat loss in furnace crowns and sidewalls, reducing energy consumption by up to 20% while preventing thermal stress on critical components. Their low thermal conductivity maintains uniform heat distribution in tank furnaces, enhancing glass quality and reducing bubble formation. Advanced formulations resist aggressive chemical reactions from molten soda-lime and borosilicate compositions, extending service intervals in regenerators and checkerwork systems. Thermal shock-resistant properties ensure durability during rapid heating cycles in glass tempering processes. Environmentally optimized versions help manufacturers meet emissions regulations by improving combustion efficiency and reducing carbon footprint. From glass fiber production to float glass lines, these materials enable sustainable operations through waste heat recovery capabilities while ensuring worker safety via reduced surface temperatures on industrial equipment.
