Lightweight Ceramics and Firebricks

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Ceramics based on Allied foams have fine pore size, excellent stability and high integrity. Foam Ceramics can be as light as < 20 pcf ( 323 kg/m3 ) and with use temperatures as high as > 3,000oF (see blocks on left).. A fiber re-enforced foam ceramic crucible under scorching torch is shown on right.
