High temperature insulation for iron and steelmaking

High-temperature insulation: why Promat?

When we enter into a partnership, we leave nothing to chance. Here is what you can expect from us:

60 years of experience

Full range of proven products

Expert technical and commercial advice

Dedicated services at each project stage

Improved design flexibility

Optimise steel quality and reduce heat loss with insulation from Promat

Our thin and lightweight back-up insulation solutions maximise energy efficiency by reducing heat loss at each stage of the iron- or steelmaking sequence. They are designed for continuous and cyclical high-temperature operation. The extremely low thermal conductivity of our materials guarantees lower cold face temperatures, creating safer working conditions for your staff. At the same time, it improves operational efficiency and ensures a stable product quality by maintaining homogeneous iron and steel temperatures.

For our solutions for iron and steelmaking you can rely on our proven and comprehensive range of microporous materials, calcium silicates, lightweight refractory bricks and high-temperature textiles and wools (blankest, modules, boards and more fibre-based product forms). These materials are easy to install, require low maintenance and have a long service life.

Our Tundish insulation materials are engineered to excel in iron and steelmaking environments. By minimizing temperature variations, our insulation solutions optimize the casting process, ensuring consistent and high-quality steel production.

The maintenance of optimal working conditions not only enhances operational efficiency but also contributes to the longevity of Tundish equipment and minimizing downtime.

Our Torpedo Ladle insulation materials play a crucial role in optimizing the transportation of molten metal. By minimizing heat loss, our solutions ensure that the transported metal maintains its temperature, promoting efficient and high-quality steel production at the destination.

The maintenance of optimal working conditions not only enhances operational efficiency but also contributes to the longevity of Torpedo Ladles, minimizing downtime and reducing maintenance costs.
