Ladle and Furnace Relining Materials
Mouldable refractory for ladles & spouts and induction furnaces

Mouldable Refractory
Winram4
Ladle Reline
WINRAM4 is a soft, Mid Alumina , easily mouldable refractory for ladles, furnace spouts and especially good for relining and patching up smaller cupolas.
Its a refractory that strikes the balance between cost and performance.

Mouldable Refractory
Winram5Z
Ladle Reline
WINRAM5Z is a High Alumina refractory with zircon for very high temperature applications. Its firm to mould, sets very hard and can endure the most demanding furnace temperatures up to 1600C.

Mouldable Refractory
Winram7
Ladle Reline
WINRAM7 is a High Alumina, soft, easily mouldable, durable refractory for spouts and especially good for lining ladles for use with iron and steel. Rated to 1600C.

Mouldable Refractory
WinramST
Coarse Extemely Hard
Setting Refractory
An extremely hard wearing tough refractory for the most demanding applications like furnace tap holes, induction furnace collars and furnace spouts where metal temperatures can exceed 1600C.

Induction Furnace
Coil Plaster
Self Setting Plaster
Related Products
A fine, pre-mixed alumina plaster for crack repairs on furnaces and ladles.

Temporary Repair
Clay Ganister
Cost Effective, Low Temperature Repairs
A clay ganister suited to lower temperature applications in areas where there will be no impact. Often used as a quick, low cost, temporary repair ganister to seal gaps.
Insulation Blanket
Prevent Heat Losses and Maintain Metal Temperatures

Insulating Blanket
Ceramic Blanket
High Temp
Ceramic Blanket can withstand very high temperatures up to 1460C. Must be handled with great care to minimise dust and dust mask worn at all times.

Insulating Blanket
Body Soluble
Blanket
High Temp
Body Soluble insulating blanket is a high temperature blanket that contains no ceramic fibre. Its rated to lower temperature than ceramic blanket but safer to use. Maximum temperature rating is 1300C.

Insulating Blanket
Ceramic Matting
High Temp
A range of ceramic matting is available from 2mm up for 12mm. Multiple applications. Often used as insulating backing for ladles and crucible furnaces before refractory bricks or mouldable Winram7 is installed.
