Heat-resistant concrete is used in the construction of industrial and hobby kilns: this building material protects structures from extreme heat.
Refractory materials such as heat-resistant concrete are ideal for heating structures such as kilns or boilers. The Vitcas shop offers heat-resistant concrete in various grades. These include insulating heat-resistant concrete, fireclay-based concrete and low-cement bauxite-based refractory concrete with a high alumina content and low cement content. These products are exceptionally resistant to high temperatures, ranging from 1200 to 1700 degrees Celsius. They can be used to line the interiors of boilers, furnaces or incinerators, as well as chimney ducts, protecting them from the harmful effects of high temperatures.
How does heat-resistant concrete protect structures from damage?
The best example of the high functionality of heat-resistant cement is the concrete from the Vitcas shop, which is resistant to temperatures of up to 1700 degrees Celsius. This makes it the ideal material for lining industrial furnaces, ceramic kilns and incinerators. This extremely durable heat-resistant concrete only needs to be mixed with water to be ready for use. This makes it quick and easy to protect the inner walls of high-temperature equipment. Refractory materials of this kind are also resistant to chemicals, which is why they work well in combustion.
Where and when is it worth using heat-resistant concrete?
Heat-resistant concrete is a material with unique properties that can be used wherever structures are exposed to extreme temperatures. It is mainly used for lining the interiors of industrial furnaces, fireplaces, boilers and incinerators, where temperatures can reach up to 1700°C. Thanks to its resistance to fire and chemicals, heat-resistant concrete is also ideal for flues and thermal insulation. Products such as fireclay concrete and low-cement refractory concrete from the Vitcas range ensure durability and safety, and are easy to use – just mix them with water to obtain a ready-to-apply material.
