Insulating Refractory Brick from China
Insulating refractory bricks are lightweight, fired ceramic bricks with porous structure for furnace back-up insulation, reducing heat loss. They have low thermal conductivity while refractory. Fits HTS 6902.90.50.20 as other refractory constructional bricks.

Import Tips
• Provide bulk density and thermal conductivity specs to confirm insulating refractory status
• Distinguish from dense bricks via documentation to stay in 6902
• Ensure no organic binders; only inorganic fired materials per chapter notes
