High-performance refractory lining for blast furnaces

Extend the life of your equipment with proven refractory solutions

For steelmakers and blast furnace operators, ensuring safety, durability and control of operating costs remains a constant challenge. Extreme thermal stress, accelerated wear and tear, and the need to reduce unscheduled shutdowns call for reliable, high-performance refractory solutions.

European leader in refractory concretes for blast furnace runners, TRB draws on its solid R&D capabilities and the expertise of its engineers to design innovative products. Our refractory division offers a complete range of concretes, as well as gunning and shotcrete repair solutions, specially designed to optimize plant life and efficiency.

Safety lining Safety lining: tried and tested for over 30 years, prevents any risk of breakthrough and achieves service lives of up to 10 million tonnes of cast iron, thanks to the excellent durability of our concrete and precast concrete parts.
InstrumentedSafety lining : incorporates our exclusive tracking technology, now deployed on over 30 gullies worldwide.
Wear lining: their reliability combined with a constant search for the best cost of ownership prolongs the life of installations and positions TRB as a benchmark player for these applications.

Marketleader in Taphole Clay.

TRB is recognized as a key player in blast furnace taphole maintenance.

We offer solutions to suit every situation.
