Industries We Serve — Refractories by Application
Refractory bricks are specified differently for each industry: slag chemistry, peak temperature, thermal cycling and abrasion all change the answer. firebrickssource.com supplies refractories matched to the working zone — from BOF steel ladles to glass tank flux lines, cement burning zones to FCC reactor walls.
Steel & Foundry
BOF, EAF, ladle, tundish and reheating furnaces — magnesia-carbon, high-alumina and special precast shapes.
High-priorityCement & Lime
Rotary kiln burning zone, transition, preheater — magnesia-spinel, high-alumina 60-70%, mullite linings.
High-priorityGlass Furnaces
Fused-cast AZS for tank walls and throat, zircon-mullite for superstructure, sillimanite for crowns.
ChemicalPetrochemical
FCC reactors, regenerators, sulphur-recovery units — acid-resistant, abrasion-resistant and insulating refractories.
Mid-tempNon-Ferrous Metals
Aluminium, copper and zinc smelters — silicon-carbide, high-alumina low-cement castables, mullite bricks.
InsulatingCeramics & Kilns
Tunnel and shuttle kiln linings — IFB grades, mullite bricks, kiln furniture and roof construction.
Mid-tempWaste & Power Plants
Waste-to-energy boilers, biomass combustors and CFB power units — SiC bricks and abrasion-resistant linings.
