Security Lining
Without fibres movement of the security lining (eg thermal expansion, mechanical shock) can crack the refractory, shorten the lining's working life and increase the risk of hot metal run-through. Fibres reduce both these risks, ensuring a longer ladle compaign, reduced downtime and lower maintenance costs.

Ladle Transfer Car
Splashing steel and the loading and unloading of the ladle can damage the car's steelwork and refractory lining. A fibre-reinforced lining resists thermal and mechanical shock, avoiding the need for frequent costly repairs.
