Allied Mineral Products Inc. has announced its patents for Crack-Resistant Dry Refractory and Crack-Resistant Insulating Dry Refractory were granted March 8, 2005 and May 17, 2005, respectively. Allied is marketing this technology under the DRI-VIBE® FR and DRI-LITE® FR trade names.
DRI-VIBE® FR technology provides greater crack resistance in mechanically and thermally stressful operations. The improved fracture toughness and impact resistance reduces cracking related failure providing more predictable and extended campaign life. Originally designed to address common failure modes associated with induction melting and holding of low melt temperature alloys such as zinc, Galvalume® and other zinc-aluminum alloys, the DRI-VIBE® FR technology can be modified to optimize results for any given furnace and alloy configurations.
DRI-LITE ® FR products provide excellent insulating properties and increased fracture toughness. These products are ideal for application where heat retention is important such as back-up linings or over-the-road ladles.
Allied Mineral Products, Inc. is a producer of monolithic refractories for the foundry, steel, and aluminum industries worldwide. Allied offers custom lining designs for optimum thermal and mechanical characteristics, leading edge refractory technology and personalized sales and service support.
