Castable refractory concrete is a building material designed to withstand extreme heat, making it ideal wherever standard concrete falls short.
Castable refractory concrete is increasingly popular in various areas of construction, particularly due to its high resistance to extreme temperatures. It is indispensable in the construction of furnaces, fireplaces, and fireboxes. Vitcas offers a wide selection of refractory concretes, including insulating concretes, traditional chamotte-based concretes, and low-cement types made with high alumina content and low cement. These products are resistant to chemicals and aggressive substances, making them exceptionally durable, with long-lasting utility in harsh conditions. Refractory products made with this type of concrete are designed to be used for many years.
Practical Applications of Refractory Concrete in Construction
Thanks to its properties, refractory concrete performs exceptionally well in industrial construction. It is widely used in structures like industrial furnaces, ovens, chimneys, and smokers, where high heat resistance is crucial. Its characteristics make it suitable for building foundations for stoves, where the temperature can be especially high. In domestic settings, refractory cement works excellently for building fireplaces, bread ovens, and pizza ovens. Due to its resistance to high temperatures and aggressive chemicals, refractory concretes are a reliable solution for all structures that require substantial durability and resistance to external factors.
