Thermal Ceramics fibre modules are a unique solution to high temperature insulation needs in industrial heaters, boilers and furnaces as well as many other applications.  Thermal Ceramics manufactures a complete line of fibre module products featuring

Pyro-Bloc®, Pyro-Fold™ and Pyro-Stack™ designs

attachment anchoring systems
construction design services available for lining industrial furnaces

Thermal Ceramics exclusive Pyro-Bloc products have set the standard for quality and versatility in furnace lining systems. Pyro-Bloc modules are the only "monolithic" ceramic fibre modules on the market.  Manufactured from Pyro-Log, a monolithic ceramic fibre log, they are fabricated into modules that offer superior performance and durability.

Pyro-Bloc modules are available in uncompressed module densities up to 240kg/m3 (15 pcf) and in three grades:

• R Grade: alumina - silica
• ZR Grade: alumina - zirconia - silica
• C Grade: alumina - silica - chromia

Pyro-Bloc modules combine the insulating ma

Insulating Firebrick
Because of their many features and performance characteristics, insulating firebrick (IFB) products are specified by name to solve heat containment challenges for industries as diverse as ceramic ware hobby kiln manufacturers and primary aluminum producers.

Features of our Insulating Firebrick are

• Excellent strength at ambient and elevated temperatures
• High compressive strength
• Every brick ground to precise dimensions
• Very low levels of iron and other impurities (especially resistant to tough, reducing atmosphere conditions)
• Lightweight, energy-saving nature results in less heat loss, lowers operating costs, and allows for thinner furnace linings
• Lower heat storage than denser refractories
• Heats quickly and economically to kiln's operating temperature
• Cools fast to speed periodic operations
• Available in custom designed shapes upon request
