Silicon carbide castable is an unshaped refractory material made of high-quality silicon carbide and industrial silicon powder. It is made of refractory aggregate, refractory powder, binder and other additives. It is a new type of refractory material that does not require firing.

1. High thermal conductivity. 2. Excellent high temperature resistance. 3. Strong corrosion resistance. 4. Good mechanical strength.
Silicon carbide castables are applied in steel – making blast furnaces, non – ferrous metal smelting furnaces, and industrial kilns for ceramics and cement production to resist high – temperature and corrosive environments.
