High Thermal Insulating and Resisting Ceramic Furnace Wall for Industrial Furnaces
Features
Replacing conventional furnaces with THERMOTECT WALLTM enables to reduce the amount of heatloss through walls for reduced fuel consumption. Our THERMOTECT WALLTM technology can be also
applied to areas prone to physical and chemical damage, to which refractory ceramics fibers (RCF)
could not be applied. Thus, it is a promising solution with potential for wide-range applications.

THERMOTECT WALLTM

Inside of furnace(high temperature)

Outside of furnace(low temperature)

Basic Concept or Summary
THERMOTECT WALLTM is a furnace wall with excellent thermal insulation and heat resistance property
that can be applied in a wide temperature range from 800 to 1700 °C. The wall uses special raw materials utilizing recycled raw materials from our manufacturing plants and does not contain.
THERMOTECT WALLTM, high thermal insulation ceramic furnace wall developed by AGC Ceramics, aconsolidated subsidiary of AGC Inc. Group has been awarded the Director-General’s Prize (in theProduct and Business Model Category) at Grand Prize for Excellence in Energy Efficiency and Conservation in 2015 (sponsored by the Agency for Natural Resources and Energy).
