Insulating Fire Bricks-VITCAS Grade 23 - 2300°F/ 1260°C

Vitcas Insulation Fire Bricks are expertly crafted from high-purity refractory clays using an advanced manufacturing process that ensures a controlled pore structure. These bricks are significantly lighter in weight compared to traditional fireclay bricks, making them ideal for applications where heat storage is undesirable. With a remarkable resistance to temperatures up to 1260°C / 2300°F, Vitcas Grade 23 Insulation Fire Bricks offer superior thermal insulation and efficiency. Density: 600kg/m³

Key Features of Insulation Bricks

• High-Temperature Resistance: Withstand temperatures up to 1260°C / 2300°F.
• Lightweight Design: Easier to handle and install compared to fireclay bricks.
• Controlled Pore Structure: Enhances thermal insulation properties.
• Low thermal mass: The ability to rapidly absorb and release heat, resulting in shorter heating and cooling cycles in furnaces, thereby enhancing operational efficiency, increasing throughput, and reducing energy consumption. This makes the bricks particularly well-suited for industrial processes that demand frequent or rapid temperature fluctuations.
• Energy efficiency: Due to their superior insulating properties and low thermal mass, these bricks contribute to significant reductions in energy usage, optimising thermal management and lowering operational costs over time. This is especially critical for industries where energy consumption and thermal efficiency are key performance indicators.
• High Purity Materials: Made from premium refractory clays for exceptional durability.
• Dimensions: 230mm x 114mm x 76mm (9 x 4.5 x 3 inches)

Recommended Setting Material: Silcas M White Refractory Mortar 1260°C is recommended for optimal setting and performance of Grade 23 insulation bricks.
