Insulation bricks are used in furnaces and kilns due to their high thermal conductivity.
Furthermore, these fire bricks are preferred for high-temperature settings due to the less energy used.
Generally, refractory insulating bricks have many good qualities. However, choosing the best fire brick for refractory can be difficult.
Hence, we at SLP Engineering has a comprehensive guide to selecting the right refractory bricks.
What are Insulation Bricks?
Basically, refractory brick is a lightweight insulation refractory material.
Moreover, it has low bulk density and reduces heat loss after the refractory lining is applied.
Thus, the refractory and insulating bricks are the ideal choice for many industries.
Especially those that require less energy used but with high-performance thermal insulation.
Are fire bricks good insulators?
Yes, because they are a type of refractory brick that can withstand very high temperatures.
Since they act as heat insulation, firebricks are suitable to line furnaces, chimneys, kilns, and boiler refractory.
Furthermore, these refractory bricks can withstand up to 1400°C but only conducts a partial amount of heat.
As a result, it generates a higher level of energy efficiency which benefits many heavy industries.
List of Industries that Use Insulation Bricks
Metallurgy: Blast furnace, hot blast stove, reheating furnace, etc.
Petrochemical: Ethylene cracking furnace, primary reformer furnace, reheating furnace, hydrogen production furnace, etc.
Ceramics: Roller kiln, pusher kiln, etc.
Glass: Glass furnace regenerator, etc.
Carbon: Carbon roaster, etc.

Choosing Refractory Insulation Bricks
Here at SLP Engineering, we provide a complete list of refractory materials that best suit your plant requirements.
Additionally, we also have a wide range of industry-standard insulation fire bricks made from SERMIX.
More information on SERMIX.
However, it is best to note down these refractory insulating bricks qualities for optimum plant construction or repair.
Low Thermal Conductivity
A higher level of porosity is better for insulation and saving energy.
High Crushing Strength
Able to withstand high thermal states and also with good volume stability.
Low Heat Storage
Stores low level of heat but absorbs more heat which saves more energy.
High Purity
Low content of impurities such as iron, alkaline, and metal.
Accurate Dimension
Custom sizing for example machining, cutting, and grinding shapes.
