Masonry brick K™

furnaceinsulatingrefractory

The K Insulating Firebrick (IFB) series are industry leaders in applications such as Petrochemicals, Metals, Ceramics, and Glass, where the ability to operate in environments with a classification temperature up to 1790°C (3250°F) is critical. K IFB series are manufactured with a unique slurry casting process, creating a matrix of microporosity which produces low thermal conductivity and good thermal shock characteristics. The excellent thermal properties of the K IFB series result from the high-temperature firing. This firing process results in anorthite mineralogy that provides excellent strength at operating temperatures and resistance to coercive alkali environments. Each grade is formulated to meet specific thermal and physical requirements and are machined to precise tolerances on all six faces. Insalcor is a special mullite-bonded bubble alumina IFB with medium density. Insalcor has a 77% alumina content with thermal conductivity values that are half of conventional dense alumina firebrick. Our IFB range - JM, K, and TJM - delivers big energy savings for many markets, and our global manufacturing footprint enables Morgan to meet your regional and global application demands. A comprehensive range of mortars are also available to suit the different grades of brick. Features • Low thermal conductivity • Low heat storage • High purity, consistent raw materials • Low iron and alkali flux content gives high refractoriness under load in operating conditions • High hot compressive strength • Tight dimensional tolerances • Large bricks or slabs and special shapes available • Purpose-designed packaging protects bricks in transit and facilitates on-site handling
