Refractories are ceramic materials, made out of natural and synthetic materials and are designed to withstand the intense heat, chemical attack, and corrosion. Without undergoing physical and chemical changes while encountering with high temperatures encountered in modern manufacturing, Refractories materials remain unaffected from the thermal stress and other physical phenomena induced by heat along with the physical wear and corrosion caused by chemical agents.
Therefore, they are extensively used where the manufacturing of petrochemical products and the refining of gasoline takes place. In addition to this, Refractories are used in a number of applications ranging from fireplace brick linings to the re-entry heat shields for the space shuttle. Hence, Refractories market is ever increasing the market, witnessing augmented demand all over the world.
Acknowledging the kind of traction gained by this market, Market Research Future (MRFR) recently published a study report.
