Product Information

Tateho’s REFTAT^® AC-1 (Aluminium silicon carbide, Al₄SiC₄) has a high melting point of 2037ºC. This is a material stable in a wide range of temperatures and has excellent water resistance.
REFTAT^® AC-1 was developed and commercialized through the joint research of Okayama Ceramics Research Foundation and Tateho Chemical Industries Co., Ltd.
By adding our REFTAT^® Aluminium Silicon Carbide to a refractory material, Al₄C₃ and AlN (the easily hydratable component in the refractory) are less generated and the refractory has the denser structure. So REFTAT^® have a good anti-oxidization effect on carbon materials.
REFTAT^® AC-1 is a high-quality material with few impurities and it is used for the antioxidant for refractories.

1. It is stable in a wide range of temperatures.

- Since its melting point is 2037ºC, stability at a high temperature is expected.

2. It has excellent water-resistance.

3. It is a material containing few impurities.

4. It is a long awaited new compound applicable for various materials.

- Its application for refractory materials and the densification effect on high-temperature materials are well documented.
