Premium Silica Brick for Industrial Furnaces - High-Quality Refractory Material from China Suppliers and Factory
Core Advantages
High Silicon Content & Premium Purity
SiO₂ content ranges from 94% to 96%, with extremely low harmful impurities (Fe₂O₃ ≤1.5%). The high purity ensures excellent refractory performance and minimizes pollution to molten materials such as glass liquid.
Exceptional High-Temperature Resistance
Load softening temperature reaches 1640–1680℃, close to the melting point of tridymite and cristobalite. It can maintain structural integrity and no deformation under long-term high-temperature and high-load conditions.
Strong Acid Corrosion Resistance
As an acidic refractory material, it has strong resistance to acid slag and acidic gas erosion, and performs significantly better than clay bricks and ordinary high-alumina bricks in acidic working environments.
Stable High-Temperature Volume
After special firing process, the main mineral composition is tridymite and cristobalite. The residual expansion is small (0–0.2% at 1450℃×2h), which can make the masonry joints tight and ensure good airtightness.
Excellent Thermal Conductivity
Thermal conductivity is higher than that of clay bricks and high-alumina bricks, which is conducive to rapid heat storage and heat release of furnace equipment, improving energy utilization efficiency.

Detailed Application Scenarios
1
Coke Oven Application
◎ Silica brick is the core refractory material for modern large-scale coke ovens, which is used in key parts such as regenerator walls, slopes, carbonization chamber bottoms, furnace walls, and furnace tops. Coke ovens need to operate continuously at 950–1050℃ for dry distillation of coal. The high temperature resistance, stable volume, and good thermal conductivity of silica brick can increase the temperature of the combustion chamber, shorten the coking time, improve the production capacity of the coke oven, and extend the service life of the coke oven to more than 20 years. It is especially suitable for large coke ovens with carbonization chamber height above 6m.
2
Glass Furnace Application
◎ Silica brick is the most widely used and important brick type in float glass furnaces, mainly used in the melting section, working section roof swan, breast wall, front and rear end walls, regenerator top swan, and regenerator upper partition wall. The glass furnace gas temperature can reach above 1615℃, and the silica brick can withstand gravity, mechanical stress and high temperature load. It has slight erosion after absorbing a small amount of alkali components, which will not reduce the structural strength of the furnace top. At the same time, its low impurity content (Fe₂O₃ ≤0.8%) can avoid polluting the glass liquid and ensure the quality of glass products.
3
Hot Blast Furnace Application
◎ Silica brick is used for masonry of high-temperature parts of blast furnace hot blast furnaces. Under the working conditions of long-term high temperature and high air pressure, it has stable volume and low creep rate, and can be used continuously for 1–2 blast furnace generations. Its excellent thermal conductivity is conducive to rapid heat storage and heat release, improving the temperature of hot air and the thermal efficiency of the blast furnace. It is suitable for the high-temperature bearing parts of hot blast furnaces and acidic blast furnace tops.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q
What is the SiO₂ content of your silica bricks, and why does it matter?
Our silica bricks contain 94%–96% SiO₂, depending on the grade (BG-94, BG-95, BG-96A, BG-96B). Higher SiO₂ content means greater refractory performance, lower impurity levels, and reduced risk of contaminating molten materials such as glass liquid. This makes them ideal for high-purity industrial applications.
Q
What is the maximum working temperature for your silica bricks?
Our premium grades (BG-96A and BG-96B) have a Refractoriness Under Load (0.2MPa, 0.6%) of ≥1680℃. The load softening temperature for the product range spans 1630–1680℃, making them suitable for the most demanding high-temperature environments including glass furnaces and coke ovens.
Q
Which industries are silica bricks most commonly used in?
Silica bricks are widely used in three major industries: coke ovens (regenerator walls, carbonization chambers, furnace tops), float glass furnaces (melting section, breast walls, regenerator structures), and hot blast furnaces in steelmaking (high-temperature bearing parts, acidic blast furnace tops). They are also suitable for other acidic high-temperature furnace applications.
Q
How do silica bricks perform in terms of volume stability at high temperatures?
After a special firing process, the main mineral phases — tridymite and cristobalite — are fully developed. This results in minimal residual expansion (0–0.2% at 1450℃ × 2h), ensuring tight masonry joints, excellent airtightness, and long-term dimensional stability under continuous high-temperature operation.
Q
Do you offer customized silica brick solutions for specific furnace types?
Yes. We provide fully customized services tailored to different furnace types, dimensions, and working conditions. Our professional R&D team evaluates your specific requirements and recommends the optimal product grade and configuration. Comprehensive technical support and after-sales service are included with every order.
Q
How does the Cold Crushing Strength differ between silica brick grades?
Cold Crushing Strength increases with higher SiO₂ purity: BG-94 offers ≥25 MPa, BG-95 offers ≥29 MPa, while both BG-96A and BG-96B achieve ≥35 MPa. Higher strength grades are recommended for applications with significant mechanical load or structural stress, such as large coke ovens with carbonization chamber heights above 6m.
