N-Durance® Lavi Setters

Nitride Bonded Silicon Carbide Lavi Setters for the Firing of Sanitaryware

N-Durance® lavi setters provide a flat setting surface for the drop-in lavatory sinks used in the sanitaryware industry. These safe, flexible lavi setters are available in various shapes, each offering exceptional thermal shock and high oxidation resistance.

Saint-Gobain Performance Ceramics & Refractories’ kiln furniture systems are designed and constructed from advanced silicon carbide (SiC) materials. These materials are thinner, lighter, and significantly stronger than traditional kiln furniture, offering improved energy efficiencies in high-temperature applications.
