REFEL is an engineered reaction bonded silicon carbide ceramic with an extremely fine grain structure. This enables it to out perform other silicon ceramics as a hard wearing material.

The micro structure of REFEL gives a superb interlocking bonding strength and surface quality. When REFEL is used in mechanical seals, the seals have the lowest level of surface distortion which gives superior life. REFEL has a reputation for supreme performance and cost effectiveness.

REFEL can be formed into complex shapes. Application fields include mechanical face seals, shaft seals, pump plungers, centrifuge and decanter thermal flights. Custom designed linings have been made for equipments that transfer aggressive liquids and molten metal.

REFEL is five times lighter than tungsten carbide, and is inert and strong. The thermal conductivity of REFEL is 200 times better than sintered silicon carbide. These properties provide superior life cycle performance.
