Refrax® ProCast - Castable

Silicon Carbide Castable

Saint-Gobain Performance Ceramics & Refractories offers various qualities of silicon carbide based castables. These specialist materials typically include 60%-80% SiC content, making them ideal for use in the challenging environments associated with waste to energy applications.

Saint-Gobain Performance Ceramics & Refractories’ team of experts is on hand to discuss any requirements around specific levels of SiC content.

The Refrax® ProCast range is designed to complement a range of available tile and brick systems, offering full lining capability. Refrax® ProCast products can be used with tiles, though it is equally effective on its own.
