When it comes to high-temperature refractory lining in glass melting furnaces, choosing the right material isn't just about performance—it's about consistency, reliability, and compliance with global standards. The electric-fused AZS brick TY-AZS36 stands out not only for its advanced composition but also for how rigorously it adheres to ISO-certified quality control processes.
The secret behind TY-AZS36 lies in its precise chemical makeup: Al₂O₃ ≥ 49% and ZrO₂ ≥ 35.5%. These ratios are not arbitrary—they’re engineered to maximize resistance against thermal shock and chemical attack from molten glass. For context, most standard AZS bricks offer only ~30–35% ZrO₂, which means lower durability under continuous heat stress.
But chemistry alone isn’t enough. The brick’s microstructure matters equally. With a cold compression strength of ≥300 MPa and an apparent porosity of ≤1%, TY-AZS36 behaves like a dense, seamless shield—similar to skin with minimal pores. This makes it highly resistant to glass infiltration and structural degradation over time.
What sets TY-AZS36 apart from competitors is not just what’s inside—it’s how every step from raw material sourcing to final testing is standardized. ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certifications ensure that each batch meets the same rigorous benchmarks worldwide.
This means no surprises when you receive your shipment—even if you're ordering from a plant in China or a distributor in the UAE. Every brick has been tested for critical parameters such as:
| Parameter | Standard Value | Industry Benchmark |
|---|---|---|
| Cold Compression Strength | ≥300 MPa | 200–250 MPa |
| High-Temperature Corrosion Rate | ≤1.3 mm/24h | 2.0–3.5 mm/24h |
| Glass Phase Crystallization Temp | ≥1550°C | 1450–1500°C |
These aren’t marketing claims—they’re verified metrics. That’s why engineers and procurement managers in Europe, North America, and the Middle East trust TY-AZS36 for long-term furnace integrity.
Consider this scenario: A glass manufacturer in Egypt experienced premature side-wall failure after six months due to low-density bricks. The culprit? High porosity (up to 5%) allowed molten glass to penetrate and react chemically, leading to cracking and costly downtime.
TY-AZS36 avoids this by design. Its ultra-low porosity (≤1%) prevents glass penetration even at temperatures above 1600°C. It’s not just about surviving—it’s about maintaining consistent performance over years of operation.
Let your technical selection process be guided by data—not assumptions. With ISO certification and measurable performance, TY-AZS36 gives you confidence that every brick performs exactly as expected.
