Clay Insulation Bricks

Clay insulating bricks are lightweight, heat-resistant refractory products manufactured primarily from high-quality refractory clay blended with special pore-forming agents and fired at high temperatures. Featuring low thermal conductivity, low bulk density, high porosity, and excellent thermal insulation properties, these bricks serve as critical energy-saving refractories in industrial furnaces and high-temperature equipment. They reduce heat loss, enhance thermal efficiency, and achieve energy conservation and consumption reduction.

description

Clay insulating bricks feature a lightweight, porous structure. Through scientific particle grading and firing techniques, numerous sealed micro-pores are formed within the clay matrix, delivering exceptional thermal insulation performance. Key characteristics include:

- Superior thermal insulation: Extremely low thermal conductivity effectively blocks heat transfer, significantly reducing furnace wall temperatures and achieving notable energy savings.

Lightweight and High Strength: Volume density is significantly lower than dense refractory bricks, reducing overall kiln load while maintaining sufficient mechanical strength for masonry requirements.

Low Thermal Mass: Minimal heat storage capacity shortens kiln ramp-up and cooling times, enhancing production flexibility—particularly suited for intermittent kilns.

Good Thermal Stability: Withstands normal thermal shocks within the operating temperature range.

Easy Processing and Installation: Can be readily cut, drilled, and otherwise machined on-site, facilitating installation in complex areas.

Key Technical Specifications:

- Al₂O₃ Content: 30% - 48% (corresponding to different temperature grades)

- Bulk Density: 0.6 g/cm³ - 1.2 g/cm³ (series products)

- Compressive Strength at Room Temperature: ≥ 1.5 MPa - 6.0 MPa (increases with density)

- Thermal Conductivity (Average Temperature 350±25℃): 0.15 W/(m·K) - 0.35 W/(m·K)

- Linear Change on Re-firing (8h Holding): ≤ 2% (at respective specified temperatures)

- Maximum Service Temperature: 1050℃ - 1400℃ (graded)

application
