SIKA® REF

Chemical inertness at high temperatures, high resistance to abrasion and to thermal shock make silicon carbide an attractive material for several refractory applications. Typical examples are kiln furniture, aluminium reduction cells, incinerators, bricks and monolithics for blast furnaces, runners, tap hole clays, zinc furnaces, crucibles for melting furnaces as well as solutions for waste-to-energy applications.

Our scale and long-standing experience in the refractory market make us a supplier of choice for customers sensitive to reliability of supply and consistency of quality.

Fiven offers the SIKA® REF series of black silicon carbide grains, designed for use in refractory applications in the iron, steel, ceramics, nonferrous metals, energy, chemical and other industries.

SIKA® REF I, REF II and REF III are designed for applications with standard requirements of temperature resistance and purity levels, such as aluminum reduction cells, copper industry, mortars, ramming pastes, tap hole clays and runners.

SIKA® REF I NI is specialized for applications that require low magnetic iron content, including kiln furniture, monolithics for blast furnace, desulfurization nozzles, heat exchangers and boiler linings.

Finally, SIKA® REF I HG is for high performance refractories, featuring high density and low impurity levels, including low magnetic iron. It is effective for trays, special casted pieces, gas cleaning, desulfurization nozzles, heat exchangers, as well as reactor linings and tube protection.

Fiven also provides customers with the flexibility to customize silicon carbide grains according to their individual needs, so don’t hesitate to ask what we can do for you.
