DRI-VIBE 149Z
General Information
DRI-VIBE 149Z is a silica-based, zircon-bearing refractory designed for lining coreless induction
furnaces melting gray iron, ductile base iron, and mild steels. It is also ideally suited for the melting or
holding of alloyed irons. This product was developed to minimize refractory sinter depth in high
temperature melting applications. DRI-VIBE 149Z offers the following benefits and features:

> Zircon addition to resist wear

> Silica-based for thermal shock resistance and volume stability
> Provides sufficent loose backup at elevated temperatures
