Rex Materials’ can use \u00a0your existing steel in some cases to turn your launder into a High-Performance Metal Delivery System utilizing\u00a0\u00a0Pyroform\u2122<\/a>\u00a0,\u00a0FUSiO2N<\/a>\u2122<\/a>\u00a0SL\u00a0or\u00a0PYROLITE\u00ae<\/a>\u00a0 Our \u00a0refractory technologies may allow producers to eliminate launder pre-heating, avoid the need to “super-heat\u201d the metal in in-line equipment, and most importantly, reduce holding furnace temperatures by as much as 122\u00b0F\/50\u00b0C (or more in very long launders and\/or low flow applications). Rex Materials’\u00a0FUSiO2N\u00a0SL\u00a0precast refractory launders are extremely abrasion resistant. Due to its superior thermal shock resistance and high modulus of rupture,\u00a0FUSiO2N\u00a0SL\u00a0far outlasts standard fused silica materials in launder applications<\/p>\n

The top metal casting companies in the world demand the best. That’s why they choose\u00a0Pyroform HP\u2122, the leading refractory, for use in their launders and other metal delivery systems.<\/p>\n

Because of its thermal insulating properties and durability,\u00a0Pyroform HP\u00a0is the only refractory material specified by Wagstaff for their billet casting systems and LaundAir low-warpage ingot casting launders. Rex Materials’ High-Performance Metal Delivery System utilizing\u00a0Pyroform HP\u00a0or\u00a0PYROLITE\u00a0refractory technologies allow producers to eliminate launder pre-heating, avoid the need to “super-heat” the metal in in-line equipment and, most importantly, reduce holding furnace temperatures by as much as 50\u00b0C.<\/p>\n

Select\u00a0Pyroform HP\u00a0for superior thermal performance and exceptional value.<\/p>\n

\nWhen your process calls for superior wear and durability,\u00a0FUSiO2N\u00a0SL\u00a0preformed fused silica shapes are the ones to choose.\u00a0FUSiO2N\u00a0SL\u00a0launders shapes are precision cast into a wide variety of sizes and shapes, from small and intricate to extremely large – even shapes with complex internal features, typically without the need for costly machining.<\/p>\n

FUSiO2N\u00a0SL\u00a0preformed shapes provide superior wear resistance in your most critical high flow\/high velocity applications. In addition, its excellent thermal shock resistance and thermal insulation make\u00a0FUSiO2N\u00a0SL\u00a0ideal for molten metal handling.<\/p>\n

Select\u00a0FUSiO2N\u00a0SL\u00a0for superior wear performance and exceptional properties.<\/p>\n
