In planetary science, any material that condenses at high temperatures is called refractory[1]. 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.
