Advancal® block

High oxidation resistant silicon nitride bonded silicon carbide

Innovative refractory technologies have set a new performance standard for reduction cell sidewall blocks. With their outstanding corrosion resistance, new  Advancal® blocks last longer than conventional blocks. 

As a result, substantial savings are made on replacements and cell disruption is minimized - significant benefits for any aluminium plant operator. 


Approved by leading technology suppliers Advancal® keeps on delivering long after other blocks have been taken out.

Advantages of Advancal®

•    High Oxidation Resistance
•    Up to 40% Better Corrosion Resistance Than Other Blocks
•    Outstanding Chemical Resistance
•    Extended Service Life
•    Thinner Sidewalls  to Maximize The Heat Flow
