In industries where extreme heat is a daily challenge — such as steel, cement, glass, and petrochemical manufacturing — durable and efficient lining materials are essential. This is where Refractory Castables come into play. As a trusted name in the industry, Refractory Shapes has been providing top-quality refractory solutions that combine strength, performance, and longevity. Our expertise in manufacturing and supplying Refractory Castables ensures optimal thermal insulation and resistance against chemical corrosion and mechanical wear.
What Are Refractory Castables?
Refractory Castables are specialized mixtures composed of high-quality aggregates, binders, and additives designed to withstand temperatures exceeding 1500°C. Unlike bricks, castables are installed in a fluid state, allowing them to fill complex shapes and form seamless, monolithic linings once cured and fired.
They are widely used for:
Furnace linings
Kiln and incinerator repairs
Ladle and tundish linings in steel plants
Boiler and duct insulation
This versatility makes Refractory Castables one of the most flexible and efficient refractory materials available today.
Types of Refractory Castables
At Refractory Shapes, we manufacture and supply a comprehensive range of Refractory Castables tailored to specific industrial needs:
Conventional Castables – Suitable for general-purpose applications with moderate temperature resistance.
Low Cement Castables (LCC) – Offer superior density, strength, and reduced porosity.
Ultra-Low Cement Castables (ULCC) – Provide excellent resistance to abrasion and thermal shock.
Insulating Castables – Lightweight and ideal for energy-saving insulation layers.
Vibro Cast and Pumpable Castables – Designed for faster installation and uniform lining in large-scale setups.
Our formulations ensure consistent performance under demanding operating conditions, maintaining structural integrity and efficiency.
