High-performance thermal materials tailored to industrial and specialist applications
Vitcas manufactures a wide range of refractory and heat-resistant materials engineered for use across multiple industries and specialist sectors. Our products are designed to meet the stringent requirements of high-temperature environments, combining durability, thermal insulation, mechanical strength, and chemical resistance.
Whether for energy efficiency, heritage preservation, metal processing, or manufacturing, Vitcas provides industry-trusted solutions tailored to the specific challenges of each application.
- Central Heating - Protect heating systems with inhibitors, descalers, and noise silencers that prevent scale build-up, corrosion, and sludge in radiators and boilers.
- Home Foundry - Ideal for small-scale metal casting, our refractory castables, ceramic fibre blankets, and zircon coatings enable hobbyists to construct and insulate their own furnaces and crucibles.
- Heritage Railway - Refractory castables, firebricks, and insulation blankets for steam locomotive fireboxes, boilers, and smokebox floors, ensuring historical authenticity and safe operation.
- Boats & Barges - High-temperature fireproofing for stove installations and steam boilers aboard canal boats, yachts, and marine vessels, including fire rope seals, adhesives, and insulation cloths.
- Boilers - Advanced refractory materials for lining and insulating industrial and commercial boilers, offering resistance to thermal cycling and operational wear.
- Forges - Low thermal mass ceramic fibre products and dense abrasion-resistant materials for constructing and repairing gas, coke, or electric forges.
- Kiln Linings - Solutions for both intermittent and continuous kilns, including insulation bricks, refractory mortar, and fibre linings, suitable for ceramics, glass, and industrial processes.
- Ceramics & Glass - Refractories for ceramic kiln insulation and glass-blowing reheating furnaces, including zircon coatings, castables, and insulation boards.
- Automotive - High-temperature exhaust tapes, heat-resistant silicones, and paints for thermal insulation and sealing in vehicle engines and exhaust systems.
- Sauna - Firebricks, insulation, and refractory cement for sauna stoves and high-humidity heat chambers, ensuring durability and safety at elevated temperatures.
With decades of industry experience, Vitcas is the trusted name for high-performance refractory materials across industrial, heritage, transport, marine, and domestic sectors. Our products are engineered to optimise heat retention, operational safety, and energy efficiency.
