Steel Ladle Lining
Lightweight insulation behind the working lining.
SLM-1000 reduces ladle shell losses up to 35% versus conventional castables while keeping enough mechanical strength to survive slag impact and tapping cycles.
Ladle Roof & Cover
Heat retention across the ladle dome.
For ladle roofs and freeboard zones, SLM-1200 boards provide 1200 C continuous service with the lowest thermal conductivity in our range, minimizing top losses without frame load.
Tundish Cover
Insulation for continuous casting tundishes.
SLM-1200 boards machine into tundish lids and pre-shaped covers, giving steelmakers consistent cover temperature and predictable steel cleanliness for slab and billet casters.
EAF & BOF Backup
Thermal backup for electric arc and BOF vessels.
Behind working linings in EAF and BOF vessels, SLM-1200 high-strength boards handle combined thermal and mechanical loads, reducing shell hot spots and lengthening vessel campaigns.
Tunnel Kiln Car Top
Lighter kiln car tops, higher product density.
Replacing castable blocks with SLM-1000 boards on kiln car tops cuts car weight and lowers heat storage per car, raising pack density without compromising temperature uniformity.
Cement Kiln Cooler
Cooler shell temperature, controlled.
SLM-1000 board modules on cement cooler shells, validated by IR thermal imaging at 22-24 C shell-side with no hot spots, a clear win for plant audits and energy reporting.
Reheat Furnace Backup
Modular backup for steel reheat furnaces.
For walking-beam and pusher-type reheat furnaces, SLM-1200 boards install as a clean, dimensionally stable backup layer behind refractory brick, reducing downtime during rebuilds.
Industrial Boiler
Tightening boiler penetration insulation.
Tight boiler penetrations and manhole covers demand insulation that cuts precisely on site. SLM-1000 boards machine cleanly and deliver predictable thermal performance at penetrations.
Petrochemical Heater
Reducing heater shell losses.
In process heaters, SLM-1200 boards give operators reliable shell-side temperature reduction verified with hand-held IR cameras, simplifying annual turnaround insulation replacement.
Coke Oven Battery
Backup lining for coke oven doors.
SLM-1000 boards behind coke oven door refractories lower the thermal gradient through the door frame and help battery operators stabilize door-end temperatures.
Hot Blast Stove
Hot blast stove dome and combustion chamber.
For hot blast stove domes operating near 1100 C continuous service, SLM-1200 boards hold dome temperature with thinner wall sections than castable alternatives.
Glass Furnace
Regenerator chamber backup insulation.
Behind regenerator checker bricks, SLM-1200 boards create a clean secondary barrier that holds checker chamber temperatures and simplifies checker replacement scheduling.
Foundry Ladle Preheat
Faster ladle preheat cycles.
SLM boards preheat faster than conventional castables because they store less heat per unit volume, getting ladles to pouring temperature in fewer burners and minutes.
