Silplate products

Silplate products are manufactured from refractory fibres with specially selected binders to produce insulating building panels with revolutionary characteristics. This unique product is capable of withstanding high temperatures under high compressive loads, while maintaining low thermal conductivity. The physical properties of Silplate are not affected by high operating temperatures.

When used in molten metal transfer systems, Silplate offers many advantages: lower casting temperature, reduced wear on lining brick joints, increased safety, combined with significant energy savings, increased capacity and improved stability of the overall lining system.

Silplate offers the following outstanding features:

• Reduced shell temperature
• Reduced joint attack in the hot face lining bricks
• Increased operational safety
• Significant energy savings
• Increased ladle volume, resulting in increased production

Silplate® is available in body soluble and ceramic versions.
