Refractories should have stable volume at high temperature and the residual expansion and contraction should be small. Heat capacity, thermal expansion coefficient, thermal conductivity and other thermal properties should meet the requirements. Refractories should have neat appearance and accurate shape and size.
Fireproofing is the process of making a material or structure fire-resistant. This can be done by applying a fire-resistant material, such as mortar, cement, or fireproof paint. Fireproofing is often used on steel structures and concrete to make them more resistant to fire.
Insulation in your home provides resistance to heat flow and lowers your heating and cooling costs. Properly insulating your home not only reduces heating and cooling costs, but also improves comfort. The most common types of materials used for loose-fill insulation include cellulose, fiberglass, and mineral (rock or slag) wool. All of these materials are produced using recycled waste materials.
