Challenge: Optimisation of the coating to achieve the highest possible durability

Solutions

Products with optimum mechanical and chemical behaviour against slag attack. Teide has a wide range of technical products and qualities specific for each foundry and steelworks process. Excellent performance across the entire range of existing temperatures in every installation and area.

How do we do it

Our R&D and FEM Simulation departments select the best products for each situation

Proposals

Shaped Products

  • Standard and special sintered or tempered parts
  • Nozzles, nozzle seating blocks, pouring tubes, stoppers, bends, “T.E.”, etc
  • Grading temperatures from 1000 to 1800 °C.
  • Grades between 30% and 90% Alumina : Andalusite-base or bauxite, corundum, tabular alumina, etc

Unshaped Products

Ramming mixes

  • Ceramic-hardening tamping refractory.
  • Mixtures of clays and quartzites.
  • Maximum possible % SiO2.

Concrete

  • Specially designed for aluminium, zinc, copper, etc. casts.
  • Thixotropic, sprayable, self-casting and quick-set refractory concrete.
  • Very high mechanical and chemical strength.
  • Designed to prevent the penetration of molten metals into the refractory.
  • They reduce slag attack.
  • High mechanical performance and very low porosity.

Mortars

  • High-performance hydraulic, ceramic, chemical and plastic mortars.
  • For grading of up to 1800 ºC.

FAQs

Do you work with non-ferrous metals and optimized solutions?

Yes: your content mentions the development of specific formulations for the non-ferrous sector.

Based on chemical compatibility, resistance to erosion/abrasion, thermal shock, and operating regime.

Zone mapping, recommended material, installation/curing instructions, and an inspection plan.

Yes: a controlled pilot and evaluation through KPIs (service life, defects, consumption, downtime).

Metal, temperature, type of slag, cycles, failures (erosion/cracking/penetration), and photos.
