Alumina Bubble Brick

Alumina bubble bricks are lightweight, high-temperature insulating refractory materials made from molten alumina hollow spheres as the main raw material, using high-pressure pressing and high-temperature sintering processes. These bricks possess a unique porous structure, providing excellent thermal insulation performance while maintaining sufficient structural strength. They are widely used as backing insulation layers or working linings for industrial furnaces operating at temperatures up to 1800℃.

Al₂O₃(%):85%~99%

Maximum operating temperature: 1680°C – 2200°C

Bulk density g/cm3(°C) :1.4 – 1.7

Thermal conductivity (W/m·K, 800°C): ≤ 0.6 – 1.5

Alumina Bubble Brick

Ruitai Lianxin alumina bubble bricks combine high refractoriness with low bulk density—typically 40%–50% lighter than standard high-alumina bricks. This weight reduction not only lowers the structural load on the furnace steel structure but also reduces heat storage in the furnace lining, thereby accelerating heating and cooling cycles and shortening production cycles, making it a cost-effective insulation solution for heat treatment equipment in metallurgy, ceramics, glass, petrochemicals, and electronics.

Features of Alumina Bubble Bricks

Alumina bubble bricks are manufactured using precision-grade raw materials and advanced sintering technology, exhibiting balanced performance across all key thermal insulation and refractory properties. Their main characteristics include:

  • Excellent thermal insulation with low thermal conductivity, effectively raise furnace thermal efficiency and reduce heat loss.
  • Small heat capacity enables fast heating & cooling, greatly shorten kiln production cycles.
  • Ultra-light hollow sphere structure lightens overall furnace load and reduces construction cost.
  • Outstanding energy-saving refractory material, obviously cut long-term fuel and power consumption.

Wide Range of Applications of Alumina Bubble Bricks

As a professional lightweight refractory and insulation material, alumina bubble bricks can be used as working furnace linings in the medium-temperature zone, as well as as a supporting insulation layer behind refractory materials in the high-temperature zone.

Used as a supporting insulation layer for blast furnaces, heating furnaces, heat-insulating pools, and heat treatment furnaces. Its low thermal conductivity reduces heat loss from the furnace shell, lowers the outer wall temperature, thereby improving worker safety and reducing overall fuel consumption in steel production.

Used in the regenerator, superstructure, and furnace top back lining of glass melting furnaces. Its high alumina content ensures compatibility with alkaline atmospheres, while its insulation properties help maintain a stable furnace top temperature and extend the furnace’s service life.

Widely used in tunnel kilns, shuttle kilns, and roller kilns for firing ceramic products and refractory materials. The lightweight lining has low heat storage, which can accelerate the firing cycle, improve temperature uniformity, and thus directly improve product consistency and increase kiln output.

Used as an insulating lining for cracking furnaces, reformers, and gasifiers to meet the requirements of high thermal efficiency and heat cycle resistance. Its low heat storage characteristics support frequent start-up and shutdown operations without causing excessive thermal stress to the furnace structure.
