Primary Metals

Refractories for the manufacturing of earth ore and refined ore to molten metal.

Steel: Materials for blast furnaces and electric arc furnaces and basic oxygen furnaces; transport of the new metal (torpedo cars and transfer ladles and troughs) ; and handling and forming of shapes. Material for furnaces that reheat slabs and billet for rolling and additional forming.

Aluminum: from carbon bake furnaces to reduction cells to the cast house. Refractories and lining systems to help reduce energy costs, while working to improve efficiency. From back up insulation to the working lining. Special shapes by casting; pressing and special forming processes.

Refractory Ceramic Fiber; Alkaline Earth Silicate; Polycrystalline; High purity Silica – Fiber boards, blocks (Folded Fiber Blocks and Pyro-Bloc), papers and blankets. Ropes and textiles for high temp applications for

Mineral Fiber boards and structural boards (Vermiculite and Calcium Silicate).

Bricks of all flavors and shapes (to list a few: basic; high alumina, super duty, high duty, medium duty and low duty firebrick; and the full temperature range of insulating firebrick) – including a world famous 2600° F low thermal conductivity, high strength IFB.

Refractory castables range from high density / low abrasion to low density insulating refractories. Offering chemically set castables; no-cement castables; conventional and low cement castables; specialty castables with application engineered solutions.

Air set and heat set plastics for rammed linings and patching. Thin, fine grained, phosphoric acid bonding mortars and coatings for patching.

Process critical components: manifold and exhaust sleeves; micarta electrical insulation fabricated into custom shapes and sizes; gaskets; fiber moldable / caulk; coatings and patch mixes; quality Bullers Rings and Discs for monitoring heat and time (work) during heat treating and annealing and other heat soaking processes;
