Refractories based on silicon carbide (SiC) are widely used in ceramic applications due to high refractoriness, excellent mechanical strength, high thermal conductivity and good resistance to thermal shock. As result of these characteristics, the use of this type of material, besides the inherent durability of the products, has as main benefit the decrease of the refractory pieces weight and consequent reduction of the furnaces energy consumption.

In order to supply these materials, Estiva has established a partnership with Schunk (Germany) to operate in several countries and aims to assist our customers from the technical specification process to the supply of flat plates, bore-gride, bars / beams, lavi rings , firing supports, burner nozzles and radiant tubes, among others.
