Specialty fibers for use in the aluminum non‑ferrous metals industry.

Our high-performance specialty fibers and inorganic materials provide faster furnace cycling, longer service life, and increased energy savings. Due to high energy demands and moderate processing temperatures, our products – which include traditional aluminosilicate refractory ceramic fibers and low bio-persistent fibers – are ideal for use in a variety of aluminum and non-ferrous metals processes. Unifrax Engineered Thermal Components (UETC) manufactures a variety of refractory and insulation solutions for molten metal applications. UETC materials can be formed as boards, sleeves, combustion chambers and any custom shape. In addition, UETC has a wide range of machining capabilities for added details and tight tolerances to customize the product to fit your needs. UETC also offers unique filtration media technology to address problems related to industrial emissions and high-temperature hot gas filtration.

Silplate Structural Insulating Board

Silplate® boards were specially developed by Unifrax for backup applications that require a very high-strength refractory insulating material. Common applications are for backup in ladles or tundishes that are used in molten metal transfer. Using Silplate boards for backup applications can significantly reduce steel shell cold face temperatures. Because of Silplate’s high use temperature limit, in many cases a thinner refractory cross section may be used and this practice results in increased vessel capacity.
