Pyrotek Ceramite® INS Refractory
Categories:	Ceramic; Oxide; Aluminum Oxide
Material Notes:	Ceramite® INS is a cast refractory using a bauxite based material, providing properties of electrical insulation, high mechanical strength and wear resistance. The aggregates in this formulation have a maximum grain size of approximately 4 millimeters (0.16 inches) and the castings have a maximum service temperature of 1000°C (1832°F). Ceramite INS blocks have passed Nemko electrical insulation testing under the application of 500 volts direct current and up to 5000 volts alternating current with no flash-over. Benefits: Excellent electrical insulation Good mechanical strength Good wear resistance Applications: Crust breaker insulators Electrical insulation between steel pipes in potrooms Information provided by Pyrotek
