Pyrotek Ceramite® SFW Refractory
Categories: Ceramic; Oxide; Aluminum Oxide

Material Notes: Ceramite® SFW is a cast refractory containing white cement, and based on fused silica material. This refractory is naturally non-wetting and formulated especially for use with high silicon alloys, typically foundry alloys. Products cast from this refractory are mainly used in the industry for casting launders, ceramic filter boxes and casting table modules. The aggregates in this formulation have a maximum grain size of approximately 5 millimeters (0.20 inches) and the material supports a maximum service temperature of up to 1000°C (1832°F).

Benefits:

  • Low thermal expansion
  • Low thermal conductivity
Applications:
  • Casting launders
  • Ceramic filter bowls
  • Casting table modules
