Radex Insulation Powder

Leveraging on the expertise of our skilled team and innovative equipment, we are able to manufacture, supply and export radex Insulation Powder. Exhibiting accurate composition, purity and low density, this powder is widely demanded in the global market. The offered insulation radex Insulation Powder is useful in the ladle to prevent heat loss during steel casting. According to the demands of our esteemed customers, these products are available in different packing sizes and other specifications.

APPLICATION
Radex / Insulation Powder are usually added to the ladle surface just before it leaves the secondary refining station to make its way to the continuous casting machine. In the tundish it is added when the steel reaches 1/3 to 2/3 full. The application rate is sufficient to give a 25mm layer of powder on the surface of the steel. In the case of the tundish it should be continually maintained to provide a black cover throughout the casting process.

FUNCTION
Temperature control of the steel is vital in continuous casting, particularly over long casting periods. Casting should be conducted as close as possible to ensure minimum segregation. To reduce the need to cast with high superheat, it is essential to have an efficient ladle or tundish insulating cover. The application of RADEX powders minimises heat loss from the ladle and the tundish.

BENEFITS
Radiation heat losses from the top surface of the ladle are reduced.
Consistent metal temperatures in the ladle are enhanced, providing smoother casting operation.
The ladle metal surface can be covered with RADEX in slag free tapping.
