Dry Refractories

 

 

Dry refractories are supplied as a dry powder that is applied and fired in place. Silicate, phosphate or other binders are activated upon firing. Dry refractory powders or aggregates are tamped into the floor or vibrated in-place between the furnace wall and a removable furnace "former".  On smaller furnaces, a formerless method is used where a unit is filled with dry refractory powder and then fired. With these dry refractoreis, the excess unfired refractory is then removed for reuse.
