Refractory & Insulation Materials for the Glass Industry

Glass manufacturing uses refractory and insulation systems in continuously heated process equipment. The appropriate grade depends on the specific zone, service conditions, and lining design.

Common lining requirements

  • • Dense refractory lining materials
  • • Castables and compatible mortars
  • • Thermal backup insulation
  • • Maintenance and patching materials

Typical equipment and lining zones

Melting-furnace superstructure and supporting zones
Regenerator and flue-gas areas
Forehearth and heat-retention equipment
Backup insulation and maintenance zones

Details needed for a technical review
