REFRACTORY FIBRES FOR INDUSTRY

08.05.2020  //  Concrete construction

Not deterred by 1300 °C

Iron and steel, petrochemicals, waste incineration plants, the cement industry – there are many high-temperature industrial systems where the temperature reaches 1300 °C (2372 °F) or more. Refractory materials and specialised expertise are vital here. The innovative refractory fibres manufactured by KrampeHarex® are the result of 35 years of research and development.
Refractory solutions founded on 35 years of experience
Refractory materials have to be precisely matched to the industrial process in question, because the industrial plant components must meet various criteria depending on the temperature, processing and thermomechanical stress. At the same time, these materials must ensure not only maximum safety and service life but also a highly cost-effective solution. With more than 35 years of experience behind us, we’re thoroughly familiar with the challenges of the iron & steel industry, petrochemicals, energy development, cement & chalk and waste incineration plants. By choosing high-performance fibres that are precisely adapted to your application, we optimise your refractory materials.

CUSTOMISED FIBRES FOR EVERY COMPONENT

Higher resistance
Higher durability
Our steel wire fibres, melt extract fibres and PP synthetic fibres come in a wide range of shapes and sizes, helping us deliver precisely the right solution for every component. Thanks to their increased resistance to wear as well as to corrosion at high temperatures, your components are far more durable. Our experienced engineers will be happy to advise you on site on the fibre best suited for your application. Since everything is manufactured at our own factory in Germany and we interact closely with our customers, your practical experience provides continuous input for our work. You profit from an absolutely safe, reliable and economical solution tailored specifically to your needs.
