Oxide Bonded Silicon Carbide Kiln Shelves

Conventional Silicon Carbide Kiln Shelves by Saint-Gobain

silicon carbide kiln shelves shelf furnitureConventional, ram pressed silicon carbide shelves are the traditional “work horse” shelves used by potters firing to cones 9-11 in natural gas, propane, wood and multi-fuel kilns. Our traditional SiC shelves are oxide bonded and over the last 40 years have proven to be a sound investment providing years of service life in demanding firing applications including gas reduction, wood, soda and salt.

There are no cuts to weaken the strength of these shelves or cause problems in performance, shipping or handling associated with other silicon carbide shelves; problems that ultimately lead to premature shelf failure.

Available in 5/8” and ¾” thicknesses in a variety of sizes, and manufactured to rigorous standards for tolerances and material specification, these shelves will outperform any conventional silicon carbide shelves on the market!

CRYSTOLON® shelves are produced in a variety of sizes to meet any stacking requirement you may have. We maintain a large inventory of CRYSTOLON shelves in our warehouse in the following sizes:

12” X 24” X 5/8” (17 lb.)
12” X 24” X 3/4” (20 lb.)
14” X 28” X 3/4” (26 lb.)
16” X 16” X 5/8” (14 lb.)
