Plicast Al-Rezist Line of Aluminum Resistant Refractories

Expressly engineered to mitigate damaging and costly corundum growth in furnaces, Plicast Al-Rezist is a line of low-cement, aluminum resistant refractories.

The line of refractory materials are engineered for processors who run their aluminum melting and holding furnaces hotter and faster for extended periods of time and therefore require superior aluminum resistant refractory performance.

It is strongly recommended for protection of the furnace hearth, lower sidewall, and belly bands. These areas of metal contact suffer the most mechanical abuse and metal penetration. The line is produced with an enhanced multi-component package for exceptional performance against more aggressive alloys, including those with high fluidity. This multi-component system prevents aluminum from wetting the surface of the refractory and growing corundum below the surface line. As a result of this formula, the material exhibits excellent physical properties for demanding service conditions, so repairs and downtime are kept to an absolute minimum.

Developed with installation in mind, the line is simple to apply with flexible options including Cast, Pump, or VibCast. It is also ideal for use in precast shapes since its rheology enables smooth crisp shape lines and corners.

Engineered to resist corundum growth, thermal shock, and abrasion in extreme aluminum processing environments, Plibrico’s Al-Rezist line of castables offer superior aluminum penetration resistance and refractory performance. It extendes the life of the furnace, maximizes production uptime, and keeps downtime and repairs to an absolute minimum.
