Frequently asked questions about refractory materials
What are refractory materials?
Refractory materials are those materials capable of “reflecting” an increase in temperature. This is achieved thanks to having a low coefficient of thermal diffusion, making it easier to refract this heat energetically than to absorb it.
What are refractory materials made of?
Any family of materials can contain a refractory, but the most common are ceramic, since its structured crystalline structures have patterns that hinder heat transmission.
Can a refractory material burn?
The refractory materials tend to be, for the most part, fire-proof, since they usually come from different types of oxides. This does not mean that they do not degrade or decompose at certain temperatures.
Are refractory materials very hard?
It depends on the form in which they are presented, since they can be found in the form of solids with a high resistance to compression, in blanket forms to adapt flexibly to any shape, and even in a wet format, so that when drying adapt the desired rigid shape.
