We have been helping thermal-processing companies operate their critical and demanding heat environments by providing dependable safe refractory solutions for more than a century.

It’s time to upgrade maintenance practices for vertical vessels. Like any routine maintenance, inspecting, removing and replacing refractory in vertical vessels places a costly burden on facilities in terms of downtime and lost productivity. One of the main reasons for this is the traditional solution for accessing vertical surfaces – scaffolding – severely limits efficiency.

Refractory sheet type RSLE-57 is a low-thermal-expansion, high-strength reinforced silica matrix composite.

Refractory Sheet Type RS-1200 is a high-strength composite designed for use as thermomechanical and electrical insulation in applications with temperatures as high as 2372°F (1300°C). RS-1200 is a combination of strong reinforcing fibers tightly bound in an alumina ceramic matrix.

Air pollution is a hot topic globally and shows no signs of abating. According to EURACTIV, some 40 million people in the 115 largest cities of the EU are exposed to pollution exceeding World Health Organization (WHO) air quality guideline values (for at least one pollutant).

As the old saying goes, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” This is certainly true when it comes to your refractories.
