UNSHAPED REFRACTORIES
Monolithic solutions, faster installation, fewer joints, complex shapes
Unshaped or monolithic refractories are supplied in powder or granular form and formed in-situ during installation. They eliminate brick joints, reduce installation time, and allow lining of complex geometries impossible with shaped bricks.
