Why Use Lightweight Mullite Insulation Bricks?
|
Reduce Heat Loss |
Reduce Furnace Weight |
Improve Energy Efficiency |
Maintain High-Temperature Performance |
|
Low thermal conductivity helps reduce heat transfer through the furnace lining. |
Lightweight structure reduces the load placed on the furnace or kiln structure. |
Better insulation can help reduce heat loss and improve thermal efficiency. |
Different grades are available for different furnace temperatures and insulation requirements. |
The goal is not simply to withstand high temperature — it is to keep heat where it is needed.
Where Are Mullite Insulation Bricks Used?
Lightweight mullite bricks are commonly used as insulation or backup lining in high-temperature furnaces and kilns to reduce heat loss and furnace weight.

Higher-temperature insulation |
High-temperature furnace areas |
• Need lightweight and economical insulation?
Consider JM23
• Need a balance of insulation and temperature resistance?
Consider JM26
• Need higher temperature and strength?
Consider JM28
• Need high-temperature insulation?
Consider JM30.
Higher classification temperature does not automatically mean better insulation. Grade selection should consider temperature, mechanical load, thermal conductivity and installation position.

Asked Questions About Mullite Insulation Bricks
What is a mullite insulation brick used for?
Mullite insulation bricks are mainly used as insulation or backup lining in furnaces and kilns to reduce heat loss and lining weight.
What is the difference between JM23, JM26, JM28 and JM30?
The main differences are classification temperature, bulk density, strength and thermal conductivity. Higher JM grades are generally selected for more demanding temperature and mechanical conditions.
How do I choose the right JM grade?
Consider the operating temperature, installation position, mechanical load and required insulation performance. Send us your application details and we can help recommend a suitable grade.
Can mullite insulation bricks be used as a hot-face lining?
They are generally used as insulation or backup lining rather than replacing dense hot-face refractory materials in severe service areas.
What is the thermal conductivity of your mullite insulation bricks?
Our JM23–JM30 grades have different thermal conductivity values. Please refer to the technical data table for the specific grade.
Can you manufacture custom sizes and shapes?
Yes. We can manufacture straight, wedge, arch and other special-shaped mullite insulation bricks according to drawings or dimensions.
Can I order samples before a bulk purchase?
Yes. Sample orders can be discussed according to the required grade, size and application.
