In recent years, refractory manufacturers in Europe and Southeast Asia have expressed concerns about inconsistent results when using Silicon Carbide (SiC) materials in monolithic refractories, precast parts, and self-flowing castables. At the heart of the problem are factors such as poor particle size distribution, high impurity content, and unstable sintering behavior. Okayama Giken Minerals provides custom grades of high-purity SiC with customized SiC specifications, guaranteed low impurity content, and real-time tracking of product performance reactions to ensure product performance, production efficiency, and cost-effectiveness.
Refractory raw material prices from China, including Silicon Carbide (SiC), Fused Magnesia (FM), White/Brown Fused Alumina (WFA/BFA), and High Alumina Cement, are entering a volatile pricing phase — creating both challenges and opportunities for buyers.

Magnesite is a natural mineral resource often seen in alkaline refractory materials. After calcining natural magnesite, the magnesium content of the ore can be further increased. According to the degree of calcination and processing technology, it can be divided into light-burned magnesite and heavy-burned magnesite, and the specific applications of the two are also different.
Silicon carbide, also known as SiC, is a basic semiconductor material composed of pure silicon and pure carbon. We can dope SiC with nitrogen or phosphorus to form N - type semiconductors, or with beryllium, boron, aluminum or gallium to form P - type semiconductors. Different types of silicon carbide can be generated by doping different materials.
