LCP vs. High-alumina Refractory

LCP and high-alumina refractory belong to fundamentally different material chemistries. LCP is a polymeric material, while high-alumina refractory is ceramic. Therefore, their performance will be even more dissimilar than would be suggested by the difference in properties. There are 3 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (17, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is LCP and the bottom bar is high-alumina refractory.
