These properties make it highly valuable for the refractory industry. Its very high strength at room temperature, makes ZIONIC a very useful high-temperature construction material for furnaces and kilns. With a much lower thermal conductivity than most other refractories, it is also a perfect high temperature insulating refractory. Its low wettability, high-temperature stability and corrosion resistance also make ZIONIC an ideal refractory material for glass furnaces.

Key benefits:

- Very high melting point

- Chemical stability at high temperature

- Hardness

- Abrasion and corrosion resistant

- A high refractive index

- Oxide ion-conductive

- Low wettability
