As a leading supplier of Glass plant refractories with an emphasis on continuous development, Maithan offers a wide range of products from the conventional to the highly sophisticated for the demanding environments of glassmaking. The product portfolio includes Fireclay,High Alumina, Basic, Zircon, Monolithic &  Insulation refractories for direct glass contact, backup & heat containment applications. Maithan also possess the infrastructure to machine bottom blocks and feeder channels and can provide the same in six-face ground zero tolerance quality.

Forehearth

Shapes for higher life can be chosen from the following in either pressed or vibration cast qualities:

Monolithics for specialized applications:

Zero tolerance blocks

For the first time in India, Maithan supplied six-face ground, zero tolerance blocks for the melter bottom. These blocks can be manufactured in chamotte, sillimanite and zircon-mullite qualities, pre-assembled and individually marked before dispatch. Some of the advantages of using our machined blocks are:

• Mortarless joints for higher furnace life
• Faster furnace construction with saving in manpower and capital costs
• Faster inspection and delivery

In tune with the advancements in glassmaking, we have been able to indigenously develop and market import substitutes to the Indian market. Some of our milestones have been:

• Zero tolerance diamond finished blocks.
• Sintered AZS bricks for direct glass contact.
• Low alkali bricks with 0.3% total alkali content.
• High Alumina bricks made with sintered / fused mullite.
• High strength insulation blocks for glass tank bottom.
• High purity magnesite bricks upto 98% MgO and 0.2% Fe₂O₃.
• Spall resistant low cost Forsterite bricks for regenerators.
• Chimney blocks for regenerators.
• Precast-prefired feeder channel blocks, forehearth assembly, feeder cover etc.

For some of the ground breaking glass projects in India, Maithan’s products have been tested and endorsed by Corning, USA and Asahi Glass, Japan.
