Ceramic slabs from ICRA company
Ceramic slabs are manufactured by ICRA company in Italy. ICRA is a leading manufacturer of ceramic rollers, refractory supports, special parts and products in silicon carbide.
Ceramic slabs must be selected according to the amount of firing temperature, firing curve, load and process for using. Slabs must be properly dried, use only suitable coatings, prevent thermal shocks.
Propec company guarantees that the board material complies with the manufacturer's technical data sheets for materials C, C2 and C3. Propec does not guarantee the choice of size, type and kind of boards ordered. If you do not have experience with this, we will be happy to advise you. For larger dimensions and larger loads, larger floors, we recommend greater board thickness. Here it is necessary to choose a compromise between durability, price and energy consumption.
CONCEPT C
This type of formula is particularly suitable for firing sanitary ware in roller kilns, thanks to its excellent resistance to thermal shock.
CONCEPT C2
This is ICRA’s most used refractory formula. C2 products are used by a great number of sanitary fittings manufacturers throughout the world. They offer countless advantages, including the lightness and resistance of the material.
CONCEPT C3
This is the formula recommended for the most critical situations. Its main feature is that it offers greater refractoriness, thereby enabling large loads to be fired without having to increase the size of the refractory support. It is also suitable for manufacturing the columns required for the complex superstructures of kiln cars.
High resistance to thermal shock
- Greater heating and cooling rates with resulting energy savings
- Greater homogeneity of temperature in the slab
- Excellent performance during firing at high temperature
- Less thermal Δ between the support and piece being fired
- Absolute precision
ICRA has produced a vast range of setter slabs (T2 - T3 - T9 - T9Z) for firing art ceramics, crockery, mosaics and special items. The specific development of the mixes has made it possible to offer the market very thin setter slabs with special profiles.
