Whether they're used to insulate the electrolysis pots for alumina, supporting considerable crushing loads beneath the tank, or in the baking furnaces for electrodes (carbon anode baking), where they provide thermal insulation for the walls, insulating fire bricks require strong cold crushing strength and insulating capabilities to fulfil the aluminium applications. With over 40 successful projects completed across 5 continents in the past 30 years, IFB Refractories has established itself as a trusted partner for aluminium manufacturers looking for high-performance and reliable insulating fire bricks. Year over year IFB Refractories is renewed as an approved partner by the most prestigious aluminium manufacturers.
