Insulating fire bricks,Fire Brick,Refractory Brick,Insulaation Firebrick

Insulating fire bricks are soft and light in weight. They can be easily cut by handheld hack saw or any other hand tool like chisel or even drill bit. Color of insulating fire bricks varies but usually they come in shades from light brown to white, see pictures. In refractory air is the best insulation and this is why insulating firebricks have excellent insulating properties. Their body is made of tiny air spaces similar to honeycomb effect. How to use light weight fire bricks insulation Use of light weight fire brick insulation is broad, mainly in industrial and hobby kilns heated up with either electric spiral elements or gas burners, furnaces, both for hot face lining or outer back-up heat insulation. Advantages Produced with unique advanced technology, the clay and high alumina heat insulating fire bricks possess the characteristics of high intensity for pressure and good thermal shock stability. The use of the bricks can reduce the heat capacity of kiln walls and promote the heat efficiency of kilns. The insulating fire brick is applicable for constructing industrial kilns and inner lining of kilns。 Do not confuse lightweight insulating fire bricks with heavy dense firebricks. Insulating bricks are refractory too and of course withstand very high temperatures range BUT for purpose they have very low thermal conductivity and don’t absorb the heat well at all. Light weight insulating fire brick. Those are intentions for heat insulation. For instance if you used them for building of the hot face in a wood fired oven (for cooking) the oven wouldn’t cook, because it wouldn’t store and hold almost any heat. You can however use these insulating fire bricks on the outer side (of the heavy firebrick walls, vault or under the floor bricks and slab) to prevent the soaked in heat in the chamber’s body mass from escaping and achieving superb results. Meaning well insulated oven which will hold the absorbed heat in its mass, where it should be to cook for long time.
