We offer a range of mullite materials marketed under the Pythagoras™ name for our Haldenwanger® range of products.
Our Pythagoras™ material is the most economical mullite material for kiln components. This material has good thermal shock resistance and good mechanical strength for kilns working under normal conditions up to 1400°C. It features very good chemical resistance against gases free of fluorine and is very economical as it is used as impervious protection sheaths and insulators for temperature measurement.
