lining concepts.
High-performance products and intelligent lining concepts
For all production areas in the steelmaking
industry, Refratechnik offers individual
refractory concepts and solutions that are
precisely matched to customer requirements.
Hereby, we are backed by a comprehensive
range of refractory products.
MACARBON® REFRAFLEX® bonded magnesia-carbon brick
CERAMAC® burnt magnesia brick
Low-Alpha bonded magnesia carbon brick with low expansion rate
Creating a lining concept and selecting the
refractory products to be used are complex
tasks, requiring precise knowledge of the
relevant operating and usage conditions.
This also includes information on the state
of the vessel, the installation conditions at
the site and the time available for lining.
Various combinations of different causes of
wear are encountered in the individual lining
zones. The most common causes of wear are
thermal, chemical and/or mechanical.
Let’s talk about your goals.
We will find the right way.

Unshaped products

For our converter concepts we also
supply finely-matched monolithic main-
tenance products made of various raw
materials and using different binding
systems.
Regarding maintenance products for
the permanent lining, we attach great
importance to good adhesive properties
and low rebound values from different
substrates.
Moreover, these products offer excellent
corrosion resistance against aggressive
process media at high temperatures.
Mouth maintenance is essential for the
mechanical strength and the ring stres-
ses of the upper brick layers. In addition,
the formation of a separating layer redu-
ces the infiltration of steel or slag.
