A refractory material is one that can be exposed to high temperatures without losing its properties; its most desirable features are a high thermal conductivity, chemical resistance, high melting point, and resistance to thermal shock, abrasion, bending, compression and erosion.

Due to its exceptional properties of thermal shock resistance, low thermal expansion coefficient and resistance to abrasion and chemical attack, the silicon carbide produced by Navarro SiC is invaluable in the ceramic and refractory industries. Its properties allow it to withstand extreme conditions and a constant exposure to a combination of corrosion, high temperatures, abrasion and impact.

Some of the applications of the silicon carbide produced by Navarro SiC are wear parts, engine components, diesel particulate filters, condensers, substrates, insulators, cutting tools, filters, catalysts or superconductors. The use of high quality silicon carbide reduces maintenance and replacement costs, production losses and downtime of equipment.

Our product is especially suitable for the production of crucibles and furnace and kiln linings, due to its excellent thermal properties and high chemical resistance.

In order to meet the needs of our customers, Navarro SiC has classified its refractory products into three groups (RN, RE and RC) characterized by a high density, a thorough demagnetizing process and a carefully selected size distribution.

The different qualities of silicon carbide produced by Navarro SiC suit the majority of applications and requirements of refractory industries. Navarro SiC can produce any standard or tailor made specification requested by customers according to their specific needs: gazettes, crucibles, concrete, bricks or refractory masses.
