In planetary science, any material that condenses at high temperatures is called refractory. The opposite of refractory is volatile.
The refractory group includes elements and compounds like metals and silicates which make up the bulk of the mass of the Terrestrial Planets, S, M and E-type asteroids. A fraction of the mass of other asteroids and Trans-Neptunian objects.
