Newer castable technology has made possible the casting of furnace sidewalls, thereby reducing furnace downtime and rebuild cost. The newer castables are fired in place and have provided corrosion performance comparable to preformed, kiln-fired sidewall blocks. This technology proved to be an important alternative to ceramic bonded and fused cast glass contact refractories in insulation fiberglass/international c-glass.
