Note : The above typical values shown are based on average test result on standard samples. Properties are subjected to reasonable variation based on product shape etc. and hence should be considered for general guidence only.

CUMIREX and CUMISTAR Nitride-bonded Silicon Carbide refractories have high thermal conductivity, superior thermal shock and oxidation resistance. They also have higher hot
strength compared to oxide bonded Silicon Carbide refractories. This makes them an idle choice as kiln furniture. Their non-wetting property makes them suitable for use in non-
ferrous metal contact areas.

Feasibility of special shapes require case-by-case study by CUMI manufacturing and Technical team. We would request all our customers to kindly ask CUMI Sales Representatives for
detail Product Data, Quality Assurance Plans etc. as and when applicable.
