AGC Ceramics Co., Ltd.

AGC Ceramics Co., Ltd (so-called “AGCC”) is a recognized refractory manufacturer with 100 years experiences and probably the only one proven supplier in the world who can provide complete furnace engineering services by 40 years experiences together, since AGCC is a company of the world biggest glass manufacturer “Asahi Glass”. AGCC is proposing an excellent furnace concept in terms of energy-saving and environmentally-friendly, with reasonable and workable refractory selection. The fusion of the material technology and the engineering knowledge makes AGCC be in the unique position. AGCC can support the customers in various situations of furnace-life by the fusion of the material technology and the engineering knowledge

AGC Ceramics has succeeded in developed Brightorb™, a Ceramics Molding Agent composed of the company's proprietary synthetic sand, drawing on its ceramics expertise and ceramics melting technologies built up experience.

Brightorb™ has exceptionally high dimensional accuracy and molding strength even in casting molten metal at extreme temperatures over 1600 °C. This facilitates precise casting with high-temperature molten metals such as stainless and cast steels, making Brightorb™ ideal for a wide range of industrial applications.

Brightorb™ also contributes to reducing waste since it uses recyclable synthetics and as its basic ingredient.

In addition, Brightorb™ makes it possible to achieve substantial reductions in completion time and manufacturing cost by taking advantage of 3-D printing, whose use has been rapidly spreading in the mold manufacturing industry in recent years.

Based on our cultivated technology over many years in the field of high-temperature materials, we in AGC Ceramics have developed various types of fine ceramics. Here, we introduce our various types of fine ceramic materials those are excellent in heat resistance, corrosion resistance and abrasion resistance and usable for various applications including the environment, energy and electronic industries.
