Refractory

Value-added minerals for refractory solutions

Prince’s iron chromite sand is used for the manufacturing of shaped refractory products. Mag-chrome bricks, produced by combining chrome sand with magnesite, have excellent thermal shock resistance and are used to line ladles and furnaces.

Olivine’s physical characteristics make it ideal for use in many high temperature applications such as refractory bricks. Prince’s olivine fine products are available in varying mesh sizes. Common applications for olivine fines are slag conditioning, tundish lining, abrasives, and refractory products.

Dead Burned Magnesite (MgO) is used in the production of tundish and gunning masses; it protects tundish from molten steel. Magnesite is also used as a slag conditioner to neutralize the pH of steel slag, thereby protecting furnace linings. Prince supplies a range of high grade MgO products for these applications.
