Engineered products specially designed to solve customer-specific challenges

Prince’s ladle sands are engineered refractory minerals designed for steel mills to insulate their ladle nozzles. The suite of SureStart® products are designed to address individual operating conditions and achieve the highest free-open rates of steel ladles.

Prince’s foundry products are engineered to allow foundry customers to enjoy reduced scrap rates and improve tensile strength and surface finish. Products include casting defect solutions, exothermic toppings, slag coagulants, specialty coatings, anti-veining solutions, porosity elimination, highest chill solutions, and lowest thermal expansion solutions.

Prince’s ForgeOx® products are glass-based, engineered solutions to help process alloys such as titanium alloys, nickel alloys, stainless steel, and zirconium alloys that are custom-formulated to provide superior lubrication, protection against oxidation, and thermal insulation.

Prince’s Granusol® products are engineered sucrate micronutrients used in specialty and turf agricultural applications. The Granusol® products are dispersible granules, complete with essential sugars that provide consistent, slow releasing nutrient uptake and are produced with advanced sucrate technology that creates non-staining, uniform granules that are free flowing, non-caking and are available with a wax coating. Prince is one of the few micronutrient producers with the capability to custom formulate smaller volumes.
