Special bricks
Alumina-zircon bricks
Alumina-zircon bricks
Using high-purity alumina and zircon as the main ingredients, alumina-zircon bricks are produced using a highly quality-controlled system. These refractories have high corrosion resistance and pollution resistance against molten glass, and shows excellent performance in alkaline vapour corrosion and spalling resistance. They are used in glass furnace melters' super structure, such as front and back walls and subpaves. For forehearths, they are used in the super-structures of covers, burner blocks, and in parts which come into contact with glass, such as stirrers, spouts, plungers and the sleeves. We offer ZM-P (press-molded) or ZM-C (cast-molded) depending on the shape.

Zircon bricks
Zircon bricks
A refractory made of high-purity zircon (ZrO2-SiO2), this mineral substance is stable up to 1600°C, and shows particularly efficient acid-slag corrosion resistance. They are also stable when in contact with other bricks at very high temperature. These are widely used for the borosilicate glass furnaces at parts which come into contact with glass such as the paves, feeder-parts and walls of the superstructure. For general glass bottle/ flat glass melting furnaces, they are used as TC bricks of melter crowns, partition brick between silica brick and AZS fused cast refractories bricks, and for sub-pave bricks for melter furnace bottoms. ZR-UP is press-molded, dense and corrosion resistant which can be widely applied from the sub-paves to the super-structures. ZU-UC is cast-molded, suitable for irregular-shaped bricks which are hard to press mold. They are suitable for melter crown TC bricks.

Sillimanite bricks
Sillimanite bricks
Using high-purity materials as main ingredients, sillimanite refractories are produced in a highly quality-controlled system. These refractories have high corrosion resistance and pollution resistance against molten glass, and show excellent alkaline vapour corrosion and spalling resistance. SR-2792N is particularly excellent against molten glass pollution with high corrosion resisitance and lower-blister potential. It is suitable for the glass-contact parts such as the sleeves, plungers, orifices, superstructures of forehearths. SR-2782 is particularly excellent in spalling-resistance and is suitable for superstructures of forehearths and Tuyere bricks.
