Core Advantages

Dense Structure, Low Porosity & Impermeability

High-temperature sintering process creates a dense crystal structure with apparent porosity ≤18% and bulk density ≥3.0g/cm³, which can effectively block the penetration of corrosive media such as slag and glass melt, reduce material loss and extend service life.

Superior Corrosion Resistance

The core components ZrO₂ and Al₂O₃ form a stable eutectic structure, which has strong resistance to molten glass, molten steel, acid-alkali media, etc., especially suitable for glass furnaces against glass melt erosion and metallurgical furnaces against slag scouring scenarios.

Excellent Thermal Shock Resistance

Relying on the phase change toughening characteristics of ZrO₂, it can effectively absorb thermal stress generated by drastic temperature changes, prevent crack propagation, and is not easy to crack and peel under frequent heating and cooling conditions, suitable for kiln start-stop and temperature fluctuation scenarios.
