Kiln Furniture for Technical Ceramics

At Vulcan Refractories, we design and manufacture high-performance kiln furniture for the demanding world of technical ceramics. Our products support critical firing processes across industries such as electronics, automotive, telecommunications, and advanced materials manufacturing. These applications demand consistent thermal performance, exceptional durability, and precision engineering, qualities we deliver in every product.

Applications

Our kiln furniture plays a vital role in the firing of technical ceramic components. These include:

• Substrates
• Ferrites
• Titanates
• Electrical powders
• Electro-porcelains

We supply a wide range of shapes, such as batts, trays, saggars, kiln props, setters, and spacers—each designed to support ceramic components through high-temperature firing cycles. We also manufacture refractory linings for the furnaces and kilns used in this process, ensuring complete, end-to-end material support.
