NATO Supply Class 9350 is a classification within NATO Supply Group 93, which is dedicated to Nonmetallic Fabricated Materials. Specifically, Class 9350 focuses on Refractories and Fire Surfacing Materials.

Refractories are materials that have high resistance to heat and are used in various applications where extreme temperatures are involved. They are designed to withstand thermal stress, chemical attack, and mechanical wear. Refractories are commonly used in industries such as steelmaking, glass manufacturing, cement production, and petrochemical processing.

Fire surfacing materials, on the other hand, are substances used to protect surfaces from fire and heat. They are applied to structures, equipment, and materials to enhance their fire resistance and prevent the spread of flames. Fire surfacing materials can include coatings, paints, sprays, and other specialized products that provide a protective barrier against fire.

In the context of NATO Supply Group 93, Class 9350 encompasses a wide range of refractories and fire surfacing materials that are used in military applications. These materials are essential for protecting military equipment, structures, and personnel from the hazards of high temperatures and fire.

It's important to note that NATO Supply Classes and Groups are used for standardization and classification purposes within NATO member countries. They help facilitate procurement, logistics, and supply chain management for military organizations.
