Refractory cement is a specialized type of cement designed to withstand high temperatures without losing its structural integrity. It is commonly used in applications such as furnaces, kilns, and fireplaces, where extreme heat is present. This cement is made from materials like alumina, silica, and magnesia, which provide its heat-resistant properties. Unlike regular cement, refractory cement can endure temperatures exceeding 1,500 degrees Celsius (2,732 degrees Fahrenheit). Its ability to resist thermal shock and chemical corrosion makes it ideal for industrial settings. Proper installation and curing are essential to ensure its effectiveness and longevity in high-temperature environments.
