Typical Technical Parameters
 
Kiln Furniture (Cordierite Based)
 
  Shapes
Batts/Tiles, Trays/Saggers, Supports/Setters
 
  Properties
1) High Thermal Shock Resistance.
    (Due to low co-efficient to thermal expansion.)
2) Suitable for faster firing cycle.
3) Low bulk density leading to minimum storage of heat.
4) Higher temperature application upto 1350
5) Excellent resistance to sagging and distortion.
6) Does not oxidise, spitout or discolour the product.
 
  Technical Application
For Firing (a) Bone China, Porcelain, Earthenware
(b) Tiles (Wall & Floor)
(c) Sanitary Wares
(d) Ferrites
(e) Technical Ceramic Shapes
