Abstract: The invention relates to a ceramic product, manufactured from a mixture made of natural and/or synthetic inorganic non-metal raw materials, at least one binder and optionally further additives. In order to provide ceramic products allowing for disadvantages known from the prior art to be eliminated, at least with respect to corrosion and erosion, it is proposed that the ceramic products are manufactured from a mixture comprising a) at least 10% by weight (based on the weight of all solids of the mixture) oxidic components, b) 0.05 to 2.7% by weight (based on the weight of all solids of the mixture) at least one organic-based binder, acting as a solubilizer in the mixture, and c) 3 to 10% by weight (based on the weight of all solids of the mixtures) hydrous dispersing agent, and that the ceramic product contains less than 0.1% by weight (based on the total weight of the ceramic product) of carbon after the use thereof at temperatures above 600° C.

Abstract: The invention relates to the polycondensation products produced by reaction of bisphenol residues from bisphenol production with an aldehyde in an acidic medium useful for the production of refractory molded bodies, of unmolded substances used in the refractory industry and, together with coating powder residues, as binding agents or binding agent components for the production of molded nonwoven fabric parts.

Abstract: A method for the production of insulation plates from an aqueous pulp comprised of mineral fillers, cellulose-containing products and a binding agent based on a novolak wherein a pulp is used comprising an additive substance selected from the group consisting of fatty acid amides or substituted fatty acid amides, the plates obtained after curing are used, inter alia, as mold covering plates or as so-called tundish plates for application in continuous casting processes.
