NORTHBROOK, Ill. — The Plibrico Co., a supplier of monolithic refractories and construction services, introduced Plicast Al-Rezist™, a line of low-cement, aluminum resistant refractories, expressly engineered to mitigate damaging and costly corundum growth in furnaces.
For aluminum processors, one of the costliest operational challenges in high production environments is the aggressive formation of corundum deposits in furnaces. Excessive, damaging, and costly, corundum growth can be mitigated with the right refractory materials, coupled with proper maintenance. Plibrico’s Plicast Al-Rezist line of refractory materials are engineered for processors that run their aluminum melting and holding furnaces hotter and faster for extended periods of time and, therefore, require superior aluminum resistant refractory performance.
