In the glass furnace industry, numerous practitioners are troubled by issues such as glass melt contamination and the short service life of refractory materials. These problems not only increase production costs but also have a negative impact on the quality of glass products. That's where the high - zirconia fused cast brick TY - Z88 comes in, offering a revolutionary solution to these long - standing challenges.
The high - zirconia fused cast brick TY - Z88 is manufactured using artificial high - purity raw materials and a special casting process. Its crystal structure is mainly composed of baddeleyite. This unique crystal structure endows the brick with excellent corrosion resistance. According to laboratory tests, in a simulated glass furnace environment, the corrosion rate of TY - Z88 is only 0.5mm per year, while ordinary refractory bricks can reach 2 - 3mm per year.
Moreover, it has an extremely low potential for blistering and stoning. In a real - world production case of a glass factory, after using TY - Z88, the rate of glass products with blister and stone defects decreased from 5% to less than 1%. This significant reduction effectively prevents glass melt contamination, ensuring the high quality of glass products.
The high - zirconia fused cast brick TY - Z88 comes in two models: TY - Z88 - WS and TY - Z95 - WS. The TY - Z88 - WS model has a zirconia content of 88%. It is more cost - effective and suitable for areas in the furnace where the corrosion environment is relatively mild, such as the sidewalls of some common glass furnaces. On the other hand, the TY - Z95 - WS model has a higher zirconia content of 95%. It offers even better corrosion resistance and is ideal for critical areas like the throat covers of high - temperature and high - corrosion glass furnaces.
Model | Zirconia Content | Suitable Areas |
---|---|---|
TY - Z88 - WS | 88% | Sidewalls of common glass furnaces |
TY - Z95 - WS | 95% | Throat covers of high - temperature and high - corrosion furnaces |
Looking at the structure of a glass furnace, the high - zirconia fused cast brick TY - Z88 can be used in multiple key parts. As shown in the following furnace structure diagram, it can be installed in the sidewalls, throat covers, and other areas. This comprehensive application ensures the overall performance and service life of the glass furnace.
The high - zirconia fused cast brick TY - Z88 is suitable for a wide range of glass types. It can be used in the furnaces for producing ordinary glass, which accounts for a large proportion of the market. More importantly, it is also applicable to the production of high - quality special glass such as TV glass. This versatility makes it an ideal choice for glass manufacturers with different production needs.
When making a procurement decision, you need to consider your specific production requirements. If your glass furnace operates under relatively mild conditions and cost - control is a priority, the TY - Z88 - WS model might be the right choice. However, if you are producing high - quality special glass and need to ensure the long - term stability and high performance of the furnace, the TY - Z95 - WS model is more suitable.
Miss the high - zirconia fused cast brick TY - Z88, and your glass furnace procurement decision will be a big loss. Don't hesitate to contact us now to learn more about this excellent product and make the best choice for your glass furnace!
