Muffle furnaces

Zinc Oxide (ZnO) production requires an exceptional refractory material to form the radiant roof of the muffle furnace. Our Cryston® Max oxy-nitride bonded SiC stands above the rest, offering excellent heating performance over a long, reliable service life. The oxidation resistance of Cryston® Max means that it outlasts competitive materials, while maintaining consistent thermal output throughout its whole lifetime.
As a result, our customers enjoy higher production levels with less fuel consumption.
