Saint-Gobain SEFPRO has developed a refractory solution for manufacturers of extra-white glass. Due to the special properties of this type of glass, it has high thermal conductivity which, combined with a low iron content, can increase refractory corrosion during fusion. This in turn can have damaging consequences for glassmakers in terms of lower furnace lifespan, the rise of tank leakage, or even potential defects in the glass. In response to this problem, SG SEFPRO designed a solution to reinforce corrosion resistance, ensure a good seal between blocks, and limit bubble formation at the glass-refractory interface. The AZS material. called ER 2010 RIC, has the potential to significantly improve the quality of glass, according to its manufacturer. It also passed industrial tests successfully, SG SEFPRO said.
