Linings for glass tanks and ceramic kilns
Glass furnace refractories sit at the intersection of high temperature, glass-melt corrosion and stringent contamination tolerance. Get the wrong grade in the crown and you get stones in the glass; get the wrong grade in the regenerator and you lose efficiency to slagging. We supply the conservative, well-proven grades that container, tableware and pressed-glass tanks have used for decades — plus the ceramic-fibre back-up that cuts crown losses.

Supply & Despatch
Tableware, container and speciality glass plants in Maharashtra and Gujarat (Nashik, Mumbai-Vasai, Vadodara) source crown, breast-wall and regenerator refractories from our Chakan stock. We coordinate cold-repair material packages with planned tank rebuilds.
