Void-free electrofused zirconia with improved upward drilling corrosion resistance

Description

Excellent corrosion resistance and glass contact properties. Very low solubility in contact with glass.

Typical application

The void-free electrofused zirconia with improved upward drilling corrosion resistance, XiROC® 95 RT solution is dedicated to highly solicited areas where chrome content materials are not an option due to risk of coloration or contamination :

  • throat lintels and cover blocks
  • distributors and feeder covers
  • sidewall and weir wall. In specialty glasses furnaces such as borosilicate.

The very low solubility of XiROC® 95 RT provides a very high resistance to corrosion, particularly in areas subject to strong corrosion by upwards drilling.
