Subtitle

Sintered 30% chrome-alumina

Description

High electrical resistivity. Good corrosion and thermal shock resistance.

Typical application

ZIRCHROM HER is dedicated to electrode blocks application for insulation glass furnaces. The high electrical resistivity combined with good thermal conductivity and good thermal shock resistance allow higher level of electrical boosting.
