3" Thick Efficient Lightweight IFB (Insulated Fire Brick) 9" x 4.5" x 3" Used both as insulation backing and hot face refractory insulation applications (especially when '**FORTIFIED'). Easy to cut & shape. The low iron content is also suitable for reducing and high CO environments.
TIPs:
- 2300°F IFBs are lighter than 2600°F or 2800°F IFBs Though a bare 2300°F brick is not designed to sustain 2450°F propane forge temperatures, they insulate better than 2800°F bricks and you can FORTIFY** them when needed for severe service.
- **FORTIFY your 2300°F Bricks - Added Heat Capacity, Abrasion Resistance and Strength: Coat the hot face of the brick with either Mortar (3100°F) (i.e., , , etc.) a thin topcoat of and turn soft /friable IFBs into abrasion-resistant IFBs with improved thermal capacity.
- 3" IFBs are a popular and economical option for heat-treating & tempering ovens. You have enough depth to router /carve channels in the bricks for heating coils.
These bricks are much more porous, and not as mechanically strong as our high-density bricks. However, they can be stacked dry or set using . Though they have much less of a heat sink than denser bricks, these can still be coated with ITC 100 HT and benefit from the added efficiency of ITC 100's heat reflection properties.
