Refractory Research

A white paper published by Ceram reveals that refractory failure is often the result of poor specification of refractory materials. Purchasing Monolithic Refractory Materials highlights areas where refractory failures can occur, describing the best ways to select materials and implement an effective test programme. It offers guidance relevant to the glass industry as well as the iron & steel sector, cement and energy industries. "Users of refractory materials should be very cautious about what they buy and how they buy it" said author Jan Theron. The publication is available as a free download at: www.ceram.com/refractories
