Höganäs Borgestad offers unique refractory solutions for a number of special applications in addition to the electrolytic cell and furnaces in the foundry area.

Wear resistant prefabricated tiles designed in Borgflow 85 or in situ casting in Höganäs Cast CC 30

BorgFloor

  • Quick installation
  • Extremely durable
  • Withstands heavy vehicles
  • Resistant to high temperatures
  • Cost effective

Floor tiles designed for heavy duty areas. The floor tiles are pre fired and ready for use.

Short installation time and long lifetime gives you a good total economy for your industrial floor. The tiles are burned to 800 °C to achieve the good abrasion value of 2,4 cm3.

Easy Installation

The tiles can be installed directly on concrete floors. Tiles are available in size 400x400x50mm. Other sizes can be special ordered. Each plate is about 20 kg and can easily be installed by hand.

Runners / launders

Höganäs Borgestad provides design solutions that give high thermal-shock resistance, no thermal dilation and low thermal conductivity.

Transport ladles / crusibles

Lining the ladle that transports aluminum from the cathode pot to the holding furnace presents many challenges. Our recommended solution is based on self-flowing castable Höganäs Flow LC 75 AL. These are specially developed for the aluminum industry, which offers a number of advantages like non-wetting properties, high strength against mechanical wear and low porosity. We can design for in situ casting or prefabricated shapes.

Höganäs Flow LC 75 AL, Bauxite based, low cement, self- flowing castable for aluminum contact applications. with key features like:

  • Low water addition, easy wetting and excellent flow.
  • Containing special additive for non-wetting.
  • Coarse grain structure offers excellent crack resistance.
  • Superior hot abrasion resistance.

Crusible lid designed in Höganäs Insul 1.5L, is aMedium insulating C/G with key features like: Low water addition, easy wetting and excellent flow. Pumpable when needed.

  • Containing special additive for alkali resistance.
  • Coarse grain structure offers excellent crack resistance.

Filter boxes for melted aluminum
