Hello i wonder what the european substitute for "satanite" is called. its mostly used for lining gas furnaces afaik.
I'm planning to make some type of gas furnace and in the US there are many different wools and firebricks and castable refractories, but here where i am in sweden there seems to be a lot less for the hobby user to easily get hold of.
And this is kinda weird since sweden is a major steel producer so there much be a literal sh1t ton of different products here (if one knows where to look). But i cant find them. i spent about 1 week now researching this. almost drawing a complete blank. i found these 2 products but they seem to be regional products for the scandinavian market only so datasheets and such is of no use for english speakers. but i might get filtered results, i dont know?
i wonder is any of these 2 products will maybe work as a substitute for satanite or if i can simply cast a whole furnace out of them? these 2 are readily available for at least.
Calderys - calde trowel r 40 sc
Calderys - calde cast f 53
i wonder if i can use any of these or if they are made for house chimneys or home gas/coal stoves, masonry heaters and similar. the satanite has good reputation so i want something similar primarily. and maybe some castable refractory.

having spent a sh1t ton of time on youtube researching this i see that many people make their own castables and the best ones seems to be (to me at least) sand/perlite bonded with water glass.
now i have the ingredients for waterglass, and also a few bags of perlite as insulator. but i was thinking of substituting sand with aluminum oxide "sand blasting powder/sand" since i can find this easily and possibly for free. and i have a feeling alox is a higher performing refractory than regular sand.
------------
any recommendations for either satanite substitutes/castable refractories/opinions about my plan for diy castable?
I'm also open to importing something good from the rest of europe/UK, UK is usually less problematic than buying locally somehow. go figure. But i think there must be good products locally that performs well.
