The introduction of oxy-fuel firing in the glass industry has proven to be detrimental to superstructure refractories. This is especially true with refractories with relatively low resistance to condensates of corrosive batch components like alkali, boric acid, lead etc. Silica is the most used refractory for the construction of crowns in the glass industry and also the refractory most affected by corrosive condensates.
