Insulating Fire Bricks (IFB) are specifically designed to
solve heat containment challenges for industries as diverse
as ceramic ware, hobby kiln manufacturers and primary
aluminium producers.
Thermal Ceramics Insulating Fire Bricks
(IFB) range includes:
●
Insulating refractory bricks, special shapes and concrete
refractory dense and insulating materia
Cast

●
Energy saving benefits
Lower operating costs
Excellent strength at ambient and elevated temperatures
High compressive strength
Every brick ground to precise dimensions
Very low levels of iron and other impurities (especially
for resistance to reducing atmosphere conditions)
Lightweight, energy-saving nature results in less heat
loss, and allows for thinner furnace linings
Lower heat storage than denser refractories
Available in custom designed shapes upon request

In addition to the standard brick sizes, JM
insulating firebricks are available in
pre-machined special shapes. The blanks for very
large shapes are formed by mortaring together
two or more JM slabs, the unique large sizes of
these slabs ensuring the least number of
sections and joints in the finished article.
Insulating Roof Block Range:
JM 26 – 30 classification 1430 - 1650°C

Applications:
●
●
●
Hot face refractory lining or as back-up insulation in:
Aluminium
- anode bake furnaces, primary electrolytic cells and
secondary re-melt furnaces.
Petrochemical
- kilns, flues, refining vessels and heaters and reactor
chambers.
Coke and Iron making
- blast furnaces, hot blast stoves, hot blast and bustle mains.
- hobby and laboratory kilns.
Insulating Fire Bricks
Fire Bricks are made from high-purity refractory clays,
with graduated additions of alumina for the higher
temperature products, and carefully graded organic fillers,
which burn out during manufacture to give a uniform,
controlled pore structure.
●
Insulating Firebricks (IFB’s) are well established
products for solving many problems of high temperature
heat containment in industries ranging from ceramic
production kilns to anodes for primary aluminium.
●
Insulation Range
The ‘Insulation Range’ comprises both IFB’s produced by
the Cast method at Casal and Augusta for service
temperatures below 1300°C and those produced by the
Slinger method at Casal for higher service temperatures.
Our Cast IFB’s in particular are truly market leading
products, offering the lowest thermal conductivity
available on the market today for applications above
1000°C, delivering big energy savings for customers in the
Ceramics, CPI, Aluminium and Iron & Steel sectors.
To ensure this message gets to all potential customers,
we have launched a new marketing campaign to push the
technical superiority of these products globally.
●
●
Good thermal insulation - Light weight and
low thermal conductivity of the JM IFB
precursors allow for the construction of
thinner roof insulation with reduced heat
losses and hence lower operating costs.
Low thermal mass - Light weight of the
blocks means the heat absorbed by the
furnace structure is greatly reduced, leading to
lower fuel consumption, especially in
intermittent and batch-firing kilns.
Simplified engineering - Flat roofs eliminate
lateral stresses and allow for simpler and
lighter supporting brick and steel-work.
They also eliminate the need for special brick
shapes, such as arches and wedges.
Easy installation - Flat roofs are much
simpler and quicker to install than are
traditional arches and do not need specialised
brick-laying skills. They also lend themselves
to modular pre-fabrication, further reducing
on-site installation time and labour costs.
Low maintenance costs - Roof repairs and
block replacement can be carried out without
necessarily shutting down the furnace, so
reducing maintenance time and costs.
Accurate dimensions - Thermal Ceramics
insulating roof blocks are manufactured to
close dimensional tolerances, giving uniform
construction with tight mortar-free joints.
Applications:
Structural Range
The ‘Structural Range’ focuses on the superior physical
properties offered by our IFB’s manufactured by Extrusion
at Yixing, with products available for a wide range of
66
www.thermalceramics.com
Insulating roof blocks are intended mainly for
use as the hot-face layer in the roofs of
furnaces, replacing classic arch roofs in tunnel
and other kilns.
