Steel plant specialties has a offered a specific solution to energy saving in furnace operations through espon-rc refractory coating. It has the following applications: protection of refractories from thermal shock cracking, prevention of energy leaks through cracks, increment in refractory lining life etc. Operational parameters involve: resistance to high temperature corrosion by acidic gases [so2 , co2, co, no, cl, etc.], alkali fumes [na, k] and vanadium pentoxide and organic material vapours, prevention of slag adhesion, high emissivity of the coating results in energy saving, reduced maintenance downtime. The following are the target industries for the use of espon-rc: aluminium, brass and non-ferrous, cement, ceramics and pottery, chemical, fertilizer, glass, heat treatment, hot forging, hot rolling, iron and steel, marine shipping, natural gas, nuclear energy, paper, petroleum, pulp and sugar refining.
