Engineered Ceramics – Manufacturer

SG – (Structural Grade) Dense Refractory Products

This versatile family of ceramic refractories, with its unique blend of structural, thermal, and electrical (non-conducting) properties, is ideal for virtually any high-temperature and structural insulation application.

A natural substitute for asbestos, plastic, wood, silicate, mica, metal, castable and vacuum-formed products, they’re available in a wide range of densities and chemical compositions.

Easy to machine, handle, and apply. Typical product forms include sheets, boards, cylinders, and engineered shapes.

AirCER (AC) – Advanced Ceramic Fiber Products

AirCER (AC) are engineered ceramic fiber insulation materials often used as a superior alternative to conventional vacuum-formed ceramic fiber shapes and castable products.

AC Products are available in standard densities of 22 pcf, 30 pcf, and 45 pcf. Shapes reaching 60 pcf and 75 pcf densities are available upon request. These robust products are suitable for hot face temperatures of 2300°F to 3275°F. Product forms include boards, cylinders, and custom shapes.

Additional treatment options such as rigidizing and prefired shapes are also available.
