It is a refractory product with silicon dioxide (SiO2) content not less than 93%. It belongs to acid silica brick refractory material, has good acid resistance and slag erosion, the refractoriness under load can up to 1640~1670 DEG C, the volume is stable under the high temperature for long-time using.
It is a kind of acid refractory material mainly made of Tridymite, cristobalite and a small amount of residual quartz and glass phase. Due to crystal phase change, the volume change of Tridymite, cristobalite and quartz remaining at low temperature is great, so the thermal stability of silica brick is poor at low temperature. In the course of use, it should be slowly heated and cooled below 800 centigrade so as not to produce cracks. So it is not suitable for the kiln which has sharp temperature changes below 800℃
