Industry overviewRefractories are fireproof materials consumed withinvarious production processes, providing heat, chemicald h i l i i i d i l f

Types o

and mechanical resistance in industrial furnaces

Their raw material are minerals with high meltingpoints, includingmagnesite, dolomite and alumina.

Crucial, but represents only ~3% of COGS in steelmanufacturing and less than 1% in cement

Refractories are consumables: ~10Kg per ton of steel;~0.6Kg per ton of cement
