     TYPES OF- FIRE BRICKS (REFRACTORY BRICKS) IN KENYA

In Kenya, refractory bricks are mainly classified based on their alumina content, which determines their temperature resistance. The two primary types are:

1. 40% Alumina Refractory Bricks

These are the most widely used in Kenya and East Africa due to their versatility.
Temperature rating: 1,370°C
Applications: Furnaces, combustion chambers, light-duty kilns, pizza ovens, fireplaces, and more.
Standard size: 230 × 115 × 75 mm
Weight: Approx. 4.2 kg
Advantages: Affordable, widely available, multipurpose.

2. 70% Alumina Refractory Bricks

These bricks are designed for high-temperature industrial applications.
Temperature rating: 1,785°C
Applications: Blast furnaces, industrial kilns, steel plants, and other high-heat environments.
Standard size: 230 × 115 × 75 mm
Weight: Approx. 5.3 kg
Color: Yellowish
Advantages: Superior refractoriness and structural integrity.

What Are – Refractory Bricks?

Refractory bricks—also called firebricks or heat-resistant bricks—are specially manufactured components that withstand high temperatures without melting, cracking, or deteriorating. Unlike regular clay bricks, they are made from alumina, silica, and heat-resistant minerals. This composition gives them exceptional thermal insulation, chemical resistance, and durability.

Prices of -FIRE BRICKS in Kenya

Prices vary depending on size, density, alumina content, and temperature rating:

• Standard sizes (230 × 115 × 75 mm): KSh 185 – 350 per brick

• High-alumina refractory bricks: KSh 350 – 600 per brick

• Custom or insulating refractory bricks: Quoted on request

At Pamon Ventures Limited, we offer wholesale pricing, nationwide delivery, and professional installation services.

Lifespan of -FIRE BRICKS

With proper installation and maintenance, refractory bricks can last:

• Domestic applications: 5–10 years

• Industrial applications: 3–8 years (depending on heat load and chemical exposure)

Their lifespan depends on:

• Operating temperature

• Type of fuel

• Frequency of use

• Maintenance practices

We also provide refractory lining services to extend the life of your thermal equipment.

Other Names for Refractory Bricks

• Fire Bricks

• High-Alumina Bricks

• Insulating Fire Bricks (IFB)

• Acid-Resistant Bricks

• Thermal Bricks

---

Applications of Refractory Bricks in Kenya

• Industrial furnaces

• Incinerators

• Boilers

• Ceramic and cement kilns

• Fireplaces and pizza ovens

• Foundries and steel plants

---

Sillimanite Bricks vs Bauxite Bricks

• Sillimanite bricks use sillimanite mineral as the base, offering high refractoriness and thermal stability.

• Bauxite bricks use bauxite as the primary mineral, providing high alumina levels and suitability for severe thermal environments.

Both minerals supply alumina and silica—key elements needed to produce heat-resistant refractory bricks.

Using Fire Bricks in Construction

Always use refractory cement when installing fire bricks. This ensures proper bonding and preserves the thermodynamic integrity of the structure.

Common refractory cements in Kenya include:

• HT Castable Cement

• Maxheat K High Alumina Cement

• Fire Clay

• Blakite Cement

• Fondu Cement
