New Refractory Technology Provides Advantages in Monolithic Refractories

There have been a number of different refractory binder systems introduced and utilized over the last 100 years. The most long-standing systems, and the ones employed through today, are based on aluminous cements or phosphates and water that chemically combine to form hydrates, which eventually harden. These traditional systems have limitations that refractory consumers have had to take into consideration when using refractory monolithics.
