As glassmakers aim to optimise refractory performances and operating costs, high-performance sintered materials are becoming increasingly important for glass furnace forhearths. The trend toward reduced zirconia levels has led to the development of high-alumina, corrosion-resistant refractories, and the use of aluminous sealing concreate around feeder elements is now widespread.
