Prolite Insulating Castables are high-strength refractory materials designed to combine effective thermal insulation with excellent mechanical performance in demanding industrial applications. Available in medium-weight and low-iron formulations, the range provides durable monolithic insulation for furnaces, kilns and high-temperature process equipment.
Available in Prolite IC12 and higher-temperature Prolite IC14 grades, the range provides maximum service temperatures up to 1400°C with excellent strength and dimensional stability. Installed by vibration casting, Prolite offers a versatile refractory solution where reliable insulation performance and structural integrity are required throughout service.
Prolite combines thermal insulation with high mechanical strength, providing a durable refractory solution for industrial lining applications operating at temperatures up to 1400°C.
