Revealing the High - Zirconia Castable Brick TY - Z88: A Product Suitable for Various Glass Furnaces

In the glass furnace industry, manufacturers often face two significant challenges: glass liquid pollution and the limited lifespan of refractory materials. These issues not only affect the quality of glass products but also increase production costs. Enter the high - zirconia castable brick TY - Z88, a revolutionary solution designed to tackle these problems head - on.

Production Process, Crystal Structure, and Characteristics

The TY - Z88 is crafted from high - purity artificial raw materials using a special casting process. Its crystal structure is predominantly composed of baddeleyite. This unique structure endows the brick with excellent corrosion resistance. According to laboratory tests, the corrosion rate of TY - Z88 in a high - temperature glass liquid environment is less than 0.5 mm per year, significantly lower than that of traditional refractory materials, which usually have a corrosion rate of about 1 - 2 mm per year.

Moreover, the TY - Z88 has a low potential for foaming and stone formation. In a real - world application case, a glass factory using TY - Z88 saw a 30% reduction in the number of defective products caused by bubbles and stones in the glass, effectively preventing glass liquid pollution.

Model Features and Applicable Scenarios

There are two models of TY - Z88: TY - Z88 - WS and TY - Z95 - WS. The TY - Z88 - WS has a zirconia content of about 88%, offering a good balance between performance and cost. It is suitable for general - purpose glass furnaces and areas in the furnace where the temperature and corrosion conditions are relatively mild. On the other hand, the TY - Z95 - WS has a higher zirconia content of 95%, providing enhanced corrosion resistance and thermal stability. It is ideal for high - temperature and high - corrosion areas in high - quality special glass furnaces.

Application in Glass Furnaces

The TY - Z88 can be used in multiple key parts of glass furnaces. As shown in the following schematic diagram:

It can be applied to the melting tank, throat, and forehearth. In the melting tank, its excellent corrosion resistance can withstand the long - term erosion of high - temperature glass liquid. In the throat, it helps to maintain the stability of the glass flow and prevent pollution. In the forehearth, it ensures the quality of the glass before forming.

Suitable Glass Types

The TY - Z88 is suitable for a wide range of glass types, including soda - lime glass, borosilicate glass, and high - quality special glasses such as optical glass and electronic glass. For high - quality special glasses, the low pollution and high - performance characteristics of TY - Z88 are particularly crucial in ensuring the quality of the final products.

Choosing the Right Product

When choosing the TY - Z88 product, customers should consider factors such as the type of glass to be produced, the temperature and corrosion conditions in the furnace, and the budget. If you are producing general - purpose glass and have budget constraints, the TY - Z88 - WS is a great choice. For high - quality special glass production, especially in high - temperature and high - corrosion areas, the TY - Z95 - WS is recommended.

In conclusion, the high - zirconia castable brick TY - Z88 offers a reliable and cost - effective solution for glass furnace manufacturers. Its excellent performance, wide applicability, and multiple model options make it an ideal choice for various glass production needs.
