Bubble Alumina is a rigid, low-density, insulating refractory. Bubble Alumina’s structure consists primarily of closed air-filled thin-walled cells which combine to give it exceptional hot strength and low thermal conductivity. This makes Bubble Alumina an effective high-temperature thermal insulator in structural applications. It is appropriate for use at temperatures as high as 1825℃. It is pre-fired, contains no organics, and exhibits high microwave and RF transparency. Its high alumina content makes it compatible with many extreme chemical environments.
