Indicated values are given as average values of properties and they do not constitute specification.

DBU – carbon blocks are intended for lining of bottoms (hearth bottoms) and crucibles (hearths) of metallurgical furnaces;
DBU-А – highly heat- conductive blocks are intended for lining of external ring courses of crucibles (hearths) of metallurgical furnaces;
DBU-B – low-porous blocks are intended for lining of internal ring courses of crucibles (hearths) of metallurgical furnaces;
DBU-А(M) – highly heat conductive fine-porous blocks are intended for lining of crucibles (hearths) of metallurgical furnaces.
