Refractory solutions for the steel industry

From ladle and tundish linings to EAF maintenance and reheat furnace roof systems — dense and insulating refractories engineered, manufactured and tested in Italy, supporting steelmakers in over 100 countries since 1949.

Applications

Engineered for every stage of the steel process

Product families below are drawn from our Iron & Steel programme — the final lining is engineered by our technical team for your specific operating conditions.

Steel Ladles

Complete ladle systems from safety lining to wear parts: dry ramming safety linings, fast-firing and service castables, wear bricks, gate sands and precast components.

Recommended products
  • KEROLAN 880 / 780 SR — dry ramming mixes for the safety lining (780 SR SiC-enriched for the slag zone)
  • LICODRY — water-free, silica-gel-bonded fast-firing castables
  • LICOFEST TAL 96 K / KRB 94 / H series — service castables · BAXOVIBRO VT LC castables
  • KEROSEAL M — MgO service mix for brick/casing junctions · KEROVIB T 31/6 ULC castable
  • MAREF — safety-lining bricks (45Y / 65Y) and S/100 series wear bricks
  • BAXOQUICK — sliding gate filler sands
  • LINCO BAXO precast — ladle bottoms, impact pads, well blocks and porous plug blocks

Tundish

MgO working linings, permanent-lining castables and precast flow-control shapes for continuous casting — engineered for thermal cycling, steel cleanliness and fast turnaround.

Recommended products
  • KEROGUN — MgO spraying mixes for the working lining
  • KEROSEAL M — MgO service mixes for slag-zone reinforcement
  • BAXOVIBRO / KEROVIB — LC and ULC castables for the permanent lining · LICOFEST 36 BL for lids
  • MAREF bricks · LINAX / BAXOFIX service castables
  • Precast — tundish boxes, dams, weirs and baffles

Electric Arc Furnace (EAF)

Dense wear-resistant castables, precast delta roofs and MgO maintenance mixes — designed for arc flare, slag attack and aggressive thermal shock.

Recommended products
  • LICOFEST KRB 94 / TAL 96 K / H 95 (CVS) / KOR 94 — dense and wear-resistant castables
  • BAXOCAST / LICODRY castables — including precast delta roofs
  • MAREF 90 HP / HPCR — phosphate-bonded high-alumina bricks
  • KEROGUN M / KEROSEAL — MgO gunning mixes for banks and sealing between bricks and cooling panels

Reheating Furnaces

Complete systems for walking beam, walking hearth and pusher furnaces: roofs, hearths, skid protection and energy-saving back-up.

Recommended products
  • LICO-CLAY plastic mouldables and LICOFEST castables — roofs and bullnoses · BAXOPLAST / BAXOGUN as plastic casting/gunning alternatives
  • LICOFEST PL / BAXOVIBRO LC-ULC castables — hearths (BAXOVIBRO VT ZMX SUPER 0-10 for severe conditions)
  • LICOBLOCK — prefired phosphate-bonded block systems for roofs and sidewalls
  • MILBLOCK / LICOFEST MW 95 C — precast skid-pipe insulation
  • KERSKID — fused-cast blocks for skid rails and soaking-zone bottoms
  • Back-up insulation: LICOFEST L / FL · ISOM · SILTHERM · LM fibres · LBS textiles

Blast Furnace & Cast House

Abrasion- and slag-resistant solutions for stack, runners, troughs and tap areas — from gunning repair to ULC runner castables.

Recommended products
  • LICOFEST gunning mixes (G TR / AT 65 G / SIC V series) — stack repair
  • INJECTMIX LBF — shell injection repair mixes · KEROFLOW SIC 75 self-flowing castable
  • KEROVIB N / ML / A — ULC castables for runners and troughs (metal and slag contact)
  • KEROTAP — tap-hole clay · LINAX 60 / 60 R — protective gunning and service
  • ISOM — back-up insulation

Anchors & Auxiliaries

Complete range of metallic anchors manufactured to UOP, ASTM, API, Exxon, Shell and Total standards, plus ceramic fibre and insulation auxiliaries for every installation.

Recommended products
  • Metallic anchors to UOP, ASTM, API, Exxon, Shell and Total standards
  • L MOD ceramic fibre modules · LB MUL-COAT protective coating
  • LBS heat-resistant textiles
