Working medium of CFB boiler – this is high speed fluidized particle abrasion and impact, chemical reactions and corrosion, frequent heat exchange. Thus, refractory lining of the CFB boiler has high mechanical strength, excellent abrasion resistance, good corrosion resistance, good resistance to thermal shock and so on.

- Unshaped refractory materials
Unshaped refractory is the most important refractory, used in CFB boilers, it accounts for 70–80% of the total. Circulating fluidized bed boilers typically use casting materials with low cement content, concrete products with ultra-low cement content, abrasion resistant, as well as concrete products, wear-resistant without cement.
Wear-resistant Castable
Wear-resistant Castable, made from fused corundum, premium grade bauxite, sillimanite, aluminum oxide and silicon powder as raw materials, they have a convenient design, good wear resistance, good resistance to chipping and high strength during early and medium-high temperatures, which allows you to overcome the disadvantages of traditional casting products.

Wear-resistant castings, steel fiber reinforced
Castings are produced by adding silicon carbide, mullite and steel fiber to improve tensile properties, strength and heat resistance based on optimized wear-resistant casting technology. It is used in the inlet to the cutting direction of the cyclone separator and in the "target zone" of the circulating fluidized bed boiler cartridge, which are the most worn parts.

Wear-resistant plastic refractories
Compared with traditional fireproof plastic, wear-resistant plastic refractories have good ductility, long shelf life, high strength and good wear resistance. The strength of the material increases with increasing temperature due to the use of a composite binder. Wear-resistant plastic refractories, using fused corundum as the main raw material, mullite and bauxite of the highest grade, with the addition of Guangxi white clay guarantee, that fire-resistant plastic can have high ductility, improve crushing strength and wear resistance, Particularly suitable for repair of CFB boilers and general wear-resistant lining design. Fireproof plastic can be recycled into materials, unsuitable for baking, after which, if necessary, you can directly start the oven.

Thermal shock resistant castings
Most CFB stoves fire under a bed, ignition temperature is high, and the temperature rises quickly after ignition; The oil gun will be turned off after, how the boiler reaches 650 degrees, and the temperature will instantly drop to 150 degrees. Hence, thermal shock resistance and high fire resistance are required, especially in the air chamber, igniter and water-cooled air chamber. Injection mold, thermal shock resistant, is the best choice for these areas.
