Cordierite-Mullite Kiln Shelves
Cordierite-Mullite Kiln Shelves | High-Temperature Refractory Support for Kilns
Cordierite-Mullite kiln furniture is composed of cordierite, mullite and glass phase.
Due to the high temperature resistance of mullite and the low expansion of cordierite, Cordierite-Mullite kiln furniture has excellent thermal shock resistance,long service time,can be safety used at temperature below 1350ºC.
Key Features of Cordierite-Mullite Kiln Shelves
•🔥Excellent High-Temperature Resistance:Can withstand continuous operating temperatures up to 1400°C (2550°F), making it ideal for firing ceramics, powder metallurgy, and sintering battery materials.
•🧊Outstanding Thermal Shock Resistance:The combination of cordierite and mullite provides exceptional resistance to thermal expansion and contraction, minimizing the risk of cracking during rapid heating or cooling.
•🪶Lightweight and Energy Efficient:Lighter than traditional alumina shelves, reducing kiln load and enhancing energy efficiency. Easier handling during loading/unloading.
•🧱Stable Structure, Warp-Resistant:Maintains shape and flatness even under prolonged high-temperature conditions. No warping or sagging, ensuring consistent firing results.
•🍕Food-Safe for Baking Applications:Non-toxic and odorless, safe for direct food contact. Can be used as a pizza stone, baking slab, or bread stone in wood-fired ovens, gas ovens, and electric ovens.
•📏Customizable Sizes and Shapes:Available in square, round, slotted, or perforated formats. Custom dimensions and thicknesses can be produced to meet specific needs.
•♻️Durable and Cost-Effective:Highly durable with a long service life, reducing replacement frequency and maintenance costs in both industrial and home environments.
Applications of Cordierite-Mullite Kiln Shelves
🏭Industrial Applications
•Ceramics Firing:Ideal for high-temperature kilns in ceramic tile, sanitaryware, porcelain, and pottery production. Maintains flatness and thermal stability through multiple firings.
•Powder Metallurgy:Supports sintering of metal powders and magnetic materials with consistent heat distribution and minimal warpage.
•Battery Materials:Suitable for sintering lithium battery components and ceramic separators under controlled temperature profiles.
•Electronic Components:Used in firing multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs), substrates, and other precision components requiring dimensional accuracy.
•Glass and Refractory Production:Works well as kiln furniture in environments that require low thermal expansion and chemical resistance.
🍕Civilian / Baking Applications
•Pizza Baking Stone:Functions as a premium pizza stone for wood-fired or gas ovens, delivering a crisp, restaurant-quality crust.
•Bread and Pastry Stone:Perfect for artisan bread and pastries; absorbs moisture and distributes heat evenly for golden, well-risen bakes.
•Outdoor Cooking Platforms:Compatible with BBQ grills and camp ovens as a flat, high-heat cooking surface.
•Home Oven Enhancement:Converts conventional home ovens into more evenly heated baking chambers, improving bake consistency.
