Refractory Concretes for Aluminium Industry

REYMA MATERIALES REFRACTARIOS, S.A. has a specific line of refractory concretes for the aluminum industry for applications such as holding and melting reverberatory furnaces, rotary furnaces, melting towers, injection moulding machine furnaces, dosing and filter systems, transport ladles, transfer and casting channels, etc.

As a complement to the standard concrete ranges for this and other sectors, such as insulating concretes, conventional medium-cement content concretes, thixotropic low-cement content concretes and cement-free (SOL-GEL technology) concretes, as well as patching and gunning concretes, REYMA has developed specific ranges of refractory concretes designed for occasional or permanent contact with molten aluminium, reducing the possibility of metal sticking through the addition of “anti-wetting” additives while, on the other hand, reducing the formation of corundum. These concretes are primarily supplied for application by vibrocasting with hydraulic bonding, but are also available in chemically bonded versions, both SOL-GEL and quick-setting phosphate bonding.
