Advancal® and Refrax® ARC, have become the reference material for the sidewall lining of modern aluminum reduction cells

Refrax ARC Block

Silicon nitride bonded

Refrax ARC is a silicon nitride bonded refractory. It has exceptionally high strength combined with greater resistance to thermal shock. Exceptional resistance to abrasion, oxidation and chemical attack associated with a high thermal conductivity makes it highly suitable for Aluminium reduction cells.

Benefits
  • Non wetting to molten aluminium
  • Excellent resistance to cryolite
  • High Thermal conductivity   
Properties
  • Excellent oxidation resistance
  • High resistance to thermal shock
  • Exceptional high strength
