What is another word for refractories?
Pronunciation: [ɹɪfɹˈaktəɹˌiz] (IPA) 
Refractories are materials that are highly resistant to heat, wear, and corrosion. These materials are used in various industrial processes where high temperatures are involved. There are several synonyms for refractories, such as firebrick, ceramic, insulating material, insulation, sewer pipe, and non-metallic materials. Firebrick is a type of refractory material that can withstand high temperatures and is commonly used in kilns, furnaces, and fireplaces. Ceramic materials are also used as refractories due to their ability to resist heat and wear. Insulating materials, such as fiberglass and mineral wool, are used as refractory materials due to their high insulation properties. Sewer pipes made of clay or concrete are also considered refractory materials due to their high chemical resistance.
