REFRACTORY COATINGS

ca: RECOBRIMENT REFRACTARI

es: RECUBRIMIENTO REFRACTARIO

Refractory coatings have many different names; bat wash, flint wash, etc. They are generally used to cover kiln shelves to protect them from clays which if over-fired can disintegrate and from slips and glazes that can run and when cold form an adhesive that sticks to the walls and work.
