Shaped products (NSiC)
Our shaped products are designed and manufactured using different grades of nitride bonded silicon carbide (NSiC) refractory material to deliver your business need.
Advantages:
The pre-defined shaped products; T-Clip PROform, T-Clip Pro & T-Clip are developed after extensive study, collaboration with customers and deep understanding of typical operational challenges in thermal treatment of waste. Our unmatched SiC material range compliments our shaped product offering:
- Excellent oxidation resistance
- Excellent thermal conductivity
- Lower thermal expansion
- High mechanical strength
Our Nitride Bonded SiC material:
- Refrax® TOP: A superior patented & doubled fired product for harsh conditions used for areas exposed to aggressive slags, the GOLD standard.
- Refrax® PLUS: A patented premium product for areas exposed to high wear & stresses, well proven capability & good economic choice for all areas.
- Refrax® PRO: A traditional product for the first pass and the combustion area.

Castables
Various qualities of silicon carbide based castable, gunning, ramming & plastic. Typical 60%-80% SiC content, specialist materials with lower or higher SiC content also available.
Refrax® Procast, Progun, Proram & Proplast are designed to compliment our tile and brick systems to give full lining capability.
They can be used together with the tiles or equally effective on their own.
Advantages:
- Excellent oxidation resistance
- Good strength and stability
- Good abrasion resistance
Mortars
Either traditional for trowel application or self-leveling for back-cast systems, the Refrax® range has a product for you.
Bonding and carefully selected raw materials ensure high adhesion, great strength and resistance to conditions inside the boiler. Their excellent adhesion and stability offer a secondary defense to corrosion behind the tiles and protection to the anchor.
Refrax® PLUSflow: A self-leveling product for backfilling with maximized thermal conductivity is the best selection for our T-Clip systems.
Advantages:
- Excellent resistance to corrosion from gases at low temperatures
- Good fractures toughness at middle temperatures
Special Products
- Carbal® 130 consists of 40% AL2O3 and 50% high-quality SiC .
Applications: special bricks and tiles where the conductivity of the lining needs to be controlled at a lower level. Similar level to a monolithic lining but with the speed and flexibility of installation of a tile system.
- CARBOFRAX®: The traditional silicate bonded SiC. Excellent low temperature corrosion resistance due to the glazed surface which acts as a seal & protection to gas passage.
Applications: special bricks, standard tiles in T-Clip or 45° design.
